End of the Month Review

April went by so fast and now here comes May! Did you take advantage of the .31 cent scoops last night at Baskin Robbins? My family loved it!

I completed one month of blogging and so far its gone well. I hope you have benefited from the deals that I've posted. My goal is try to post a deal each day...there were some great ones this month!

I've had so many favorite deals this month, its hard for me to pick one. I can say that I've kept my grocery bill down to $55/week this month...which my husband loves!

If you've had a great deal or find this month...please post a comment! I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks so much for following my blog & we'll see what May has to bring!
