We spent around $85.00 this month for dining out. Much of this was meals on the go for the children at McDonald's. We order off the dollar menu and skip the drinks. We also had a few chinese take-out orders which amounted to under $20.00. The chinese meals last two days. We end up eating it for dinner, and then lunch the next day.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8365799177836540066-3217073279126631773?l=housekeepingnotes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365799177836540066.post-13487158513036135542007-07-08T20:10:00.000-04:002007-07-08T20:18:17.421-04:00Free with Rebate this month:<br /><br />Conditioner<br /> <br />I've fallen off the rebate wagon.

We didn't do as well with limiting our dining out expenses. It was around $100.00.<br /><br />Dh found a place to buy less expensive milk, so those costs will go down a little. He's buying it at the local convenience store near his employment for $2.69 a gallon.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8365799177836540066-3188368203720511353?l=housekeepingnotes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365799177836540066.post-13388489167473402952007-06-01T14:57:00.000-04:002007-06-01T15:25:22.333-04:00Rebate from <a href="https://riteaid.rebateplus.com/rebatelistpage.asp?categories=all">Rite Aid</a>, value $13.98:<br /><br />Aleve(free)<br />Neutrogena Shampoo(free with rebate)<br />Neutrogena Sunscreen(free with rebate)<br />Scott 15 pk paper towels on sale and $1.00 rebate, $9.99<br />Electrasol Orange Gel 75 oz. on sale and $1.00 rebate, $2.49<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8365799177836540066-1338848916747340295?l=housekeepingnotes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alexandranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365799177836540066.post-45809989720351564882007-06-01T14:48:00.000-04:002007-06-01T14:57:02.495-04:00We spent a little more this month: $220.00.
