I went to the grocery yesterday and asked about the flu shot and grocery discount. They said I could get the deal even without the coupon. There didn't seem to be any restriction on what I buy. I didn't actually get the shot because I wasn't wearing the right kind of shirt. I'm going back today in a sleeveless top with a jacket, so they can get to my shoulder without stripping me!
I spent $50 on nine items: toilet paper, English muffins, almond milk, croutons, walnuts, apples, pantiliners, a greeting card, and a Lean Cuisine that I didn't bring home! I had "clipped" a virtual coupon for a free Lean Cuisine, but it didn't come through on the register as free. So I said I didn't want it. Now, looking at the receipt, I see that the clerk didn't take the price off, so instead of getting a meal free, I paid for one and didn't get it! GRRRRR. I'll get that fixed when I go back today.
I also paid $5.99 for a bag of organic apples, but I thought the sign said $2.99, so I'm going to check on that, too.
I did two loads of laundry for $3. Will do another load today.
Variables spending is at 35%.
I sent the $250 to my new grandson, but that doesn't come out of variables spending.
I'm buying pizza today for my kids before the soccer game. Then I'm going to Indiana to spend a couple more days with BFF.

I'll be getting a flu shot at work in a few weeks - I think Oct 6 if I remember right.
