Money Saving Mom®

I did more shopping than my usual this past week – I stocked up on some snacks that my teen boy asked for as he’s heading back to college again. Because a dorm room always needs more snacks, haha! My grocery haul is pretty random this week as we still have lots of surplus from other weeks. Life should settle down shortly, though, and I’ll get back to a more typical shopping haul. (P.S. Ibotta and Publix CAME THROUGH for me this week with the monthly bonuses!)
