The "Laid Up in Bed Edition" Edition..........
Wouldn't you know it, Sunday I tweeked my left knee(the good knee)on the way out the door to go to Rite-Aid and it just felt worse and worse over the course of the day.
I am on Day Two of staying upstairs in bed in hopes staying off it and not going up and down the stairs helps it feel better.
Otherwise it's off to the doctor. sigh

Hubs spent a whole $26.02 on groceries while I was away. He did eat a couple of "dogs" in the pantry-things that had been bought for him that he never got around to making. I pulled them out and put where he could find them yet he didn't go crazy on eating pasta and sauce which I assumed he would(since he loves it so and I just can't eat tomato based sauces much anymore).
I pillaged a could more R-As down in VA and hit a Sharp Shopper in VA and a Walmart in WV on the way home as well as went with sis in-law to Kroger twice which brings my June food spending to $405.55.

I am at $91.42 total earned in Ibotta rebates in June plus $1 in rebates on Saving Star for June which brings my actual June spending down to $313.13 after that's factored in.
My savings percentage the last 3 weeks was 50.58%(without "regular"Rite-Aid trips)for June and the monthly savings total comes in at 56.37%(w/out R-A).
I have 0 more food shopping/spending days in June as it's the last day of the month today. 8-)
Leftovers going into this week.......nothing really as Hubs hardly cooked while I was away. With Ex-CB back at work as of last week Hubs just made something for himself.
Must be nice to do that and not have to meal plan. 8-(
