We go through juice like crazy here so I probably should have bought more of the Cran-Grape juice, but I’m trying really hard to stay below $100 this month for the Boost Your Budget Pantry Challenge and I’m trying to keep our spending to a minimum.  I couldn’t pass up the Chef Boyardee cans either because my kids absolutely love them and I had coupons to match with the sale so I stocked up a little bit.  This cat litter is the non-scooping kind but it was such a good deal that I figured we could try it.  I’m going to attempt to mix it with our other clumping litter and see what happens  Today I bought $81.09 worth of groceries for $18.12 after coupons and $20 RR, or 78% off.  Here are the deals:
