Grocery Challenge - Week 10


March 5th through March 11th
**I've learned a valuable lesson this week.  When I'm stressed or not feeling well, I like to shop.  This week, I shopped for groceries.  So...I need to find some other way to keep myself occupied when I am stressed. I also learned that I'm an Opportunity Buyer.  We seldom go to Wal-Mart, so I feel like I need to pick up certain items when we do go there.  This puts me over budget.**
