October 10th: Walgreens

Jeff, Jakob, and I went to see our home this morning.  We made a quick stop before getting lunch for the 1st transaction.  The boys headed to Sonic and I was planning to meet them after I completed the 2nd transaction, but Jakob was upset because he thought Jeff left me at Walgreens!  When I came out, they were waiting for me in front of Walgreens in the car.  After lunch, I went back in for my last and final transaction for the week.  When the total went from $37~ to $8.83, the lady behind me overheard me make my comment to the cashier.  I quickly told her about Southern Savers and completed my transaction.  After analyzing our spending in our budget account, I have decided to start tracking our overall spending categories in an excel file because even though I am saving on everything, our totals for September seem higher than I expected.
