I think I should clarify

My grocery budget isn’t $20.  I don’t think we could actually live off of that and eat healthy.  This week was the $20 grocery budget.  This week only.  But we actually ended up finding a little extra money in the budget so I got to spend $40 at the grocery store this week!  That’s much more do-able.

So I met my $40 limit with lots of beans in my cart and I also got an extra $10 surprise in my shopping trip.  As soon as I stepped in the door of the Super Target someone asked me if I wanted to participate in a market research survey, and that I would get a $10 target gift card out of it.  I was like heck yes!  So they put a little camera on me and asked me to just do my grocery shopping as usual.  So I went about my way picking up what I needed, checked out, and came back to give them back their camera and they handed me a giftcard!  SWEET! 

Anyhoo- $40 was doable but I hope the business at Justin’s work picks up soon so that I can spend more money on food.  I’m sure I’ll get tired of beans pretty soon! :)   That’s the definite downside of working on commission.
