Yep, even the Coupon Queen goes over budget! However, I have been way UNDER budget for 3 weeks in a row. It was about time for me to catch up. Here's what I bought this week. You can click on the store name to see coupon matchups.

GRAND TOTALS:
Regular Price: $258.44
Savings: $177.84 or 69%
Actual Cost: $80.60 ($78.20)*
*ECP Reimbursement: 2.40
That means I was $18 over my $60 weekly budget. Like I said earlier, I have been under budget for the last 3 weeks by a pretty good amount. I know that it is more than enough to cover my excess for this week. Besides, I finally found Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark so I am a happy camper! :)
