It has been an up and down month with rather high and rather low spending weeks, nothing in between.  We’ll see how that worked out!

This week was high.

On Monday, I spent $46.00 at Shaw’s (left) and $37.56 at Stop & Shop (right).

On Wednesday, I went to BJ’s for the second time this month because my coupons were going to start expiring.  I spent $296.59.

Finally, I spent $96.64 at Wegman’s on Saturday bringing the week to a total of $476.79.  And that closed out the month.

Let’s see if we’re making up for the light spending in February.

March TOTAL: $1,127.49

• Stop & Shop: $144.43
• Wegman’s: $439.52
• BJs: $460.47
• Other: $83.07
  • Local: $13.97
  • Star Market/Shaw’s: $46.00
  • Trader Joe’s: $0
  • Target: $23.10
  • Other: $0

That is high, but seems very reasonable for a month with two significant trips to BJ’s.

This is the last week before spring sports kick in.  And, yet, it is a bit of a mess because we had activities push from the various snow days into this week.  Glad to get them done before soccer/baseball season really kicks off though.
