Lessons Learned:
** RR can't apply to tax... the product/non-tax amount must be at least what the RR is for.
** Need to find cheap $0.25 filler items.
** Did well w/ my list & plan of action, except now I know to plan for non-tax w/ RR. That threw me off at the register & I grabbed an extra lipgloss in error... so I have to take back that for a refund (got 3 instead of the 2 I needed).
Overall happy, though. We are rounding out our 1st biweekly w/ $90 available for food + toiletries + cleaning supplies. We went over by about $2, but I have to remember this is a marathon-style issue. We can't expect to hit 1 store or 1 week where we'll find everything we want/need on sale or nearly free.
But, the preparation we've already started will allow for us to continue & smoothly transition into this next biweekly. I'm very excited about all the future deals & savings we'll come across!
