CVS- black friday that started on thanksgiving
I wish that I had some Extra Care Bucks to pay for this stuff with, but their sales have not been that great recently, and I used my ready-to-expires on things like milk. So, I paid cash for my first transaction, but I got lots of EBCs back! I can start rolling them again!

Total savings: 91.97

This is one of those weeks when I am over my budget, but it's really misleading. Several of the things I paid out of pocket for (like, crayons, energy drink, etc) shouldn't count in my 60. I try to keep myself to 60 for the "household" and "food" items. So, even though I show as over this week, I really don't think I am. But, I am willing to show the overage on my weekly budget, so that I can also show the crazy savings! :-)

Weekly spending total: 63.13
Weekly savings total: 164.18
YTD spending total: 1980.39
YTD savings total: 2878.89

Current ECB balance: 21.86
Current register rewards balance: 11.00
