November Shopping Summary/Update

Here is my shopping summary for November:
 
$100.00 Monthly Budget
-$8.20 Miss Sarah's School lunches
-$26.44 Target (Halloween Clearance)
-$35.45 Copps last week
-$33.53 Copps 11/17
-$3.99 Menards (Black Friday, Klement's sausage)
-$10.00 Hostess Outlet (Good Bye Twinkies!)
-$7.53 ALDI 11/27 (produce run: celery, apples, bananas, avocados
(-$25.14 over budget)

I was $42.87 UNDER last month so I am $17.23 under budget for the year so far.
That gives me $117.24 until New Years Eve!!!!
:)

Now, what put me over?

1) Thank you Hostess for closing.
{sigh}
We RARELY bought any of that stuff and had to hit the outlet that day it closed for a few boxes of things.
2) I also got those pot roasts... I didn't need them as I had a few in the freezer but they were under $3/pound and I know beef prices will be jumping soon.
 
A quick review of what I bought this month:
  • At Target I got enough pretzels, chips, popcorn and fruit roll ups to help out Miss Sarah's class and fill in with her school lunches through the end of May.
  • At Copp's I did general shopping, got 2 pot roasts and 10 packs of Lil Smokies for the freezer and picked up 50 boxes of cereal for the food pantry.
  • At Hostess I got Twinkies, Fruit Pies and Mini Muffins that are living in the freezer. We will dole them out sparingly until they are made again, I hope.

      I am only looking for a few specific things at the momment, so I am watching the ads, but I usually do 6AM at Copps East on either a Wed or Sat.
