$75 Weekly Shopping and Menu 6-4-18 - No Getting Off This Train

I’m back! We spent Memorial Day weekend at the Carowinds amusement park in North Carolina and we had an awesome time. I left my laptop at home and went shopping late Monday night, so I decided not to post anything last week.

This week is a little light as well, because we’re heading to Cedar Point this weekend for my second half marathon of the year! We love our amusement parks… and I’m super excited to be able to run through an empty park, especially in this great weather. My first half was like 20 degrees and not very comfortable, so this should be easy.

Does anyone else go to the dollar store for like 3 things and come out with bags full of stuff? To be fair, I actually needed a few of the things… but the dried fruit is so good. Fruit is the only ingredient, and at only a dollar it’s an awesome price!

I have around $30.00 left in the budget this week. That normally doesn’t happen, but I’ll be using that at Sam’s Club later in the week (along with a gift card I should be getting from Swagbucks) to buy shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, dishwasher tabs, and whatever else I have money for. Possibly chocolate chips, because chocolate is life. Here’s everything I bought this week:
