Shop 3 

Tuesday, August 12

This was a trip to Trader Joe's:

      5 bananas @ .19 ea.                                   .95

      TJ's bran flake cereal                               1.99

      TJ's raspberry sorbet                                2.99

      ThomCord Grapes 2 @ 2.99 ea.                 5.98

TOTAL                                                       $11.91

Added to the previous total of 30.09, this puts me at $42 exactly, $7 over my limit. I should have ditched the grapes and the sorbet, I guess. Both of those should last two weeks, though. And the blueberries I bought at HEB over the weekend will last at least two weeks. 

I think I will take the hit and see if I can reduce my costs next week. Maybe not by $7--depends on how much cooking I do.
