I would still count today as a no spend. It's just .10 cents. You can find that on the ground!

Wow! Very impressed with the number of $0 days!

Just to update on DD, the test results came back as normal. While that's awesome news, we're now in limbo as to why they were off in the first place. Seeking more testing but haven't actually spoken with her doctors yet.

Today, I spent A LOT on groceries!!! $104.19 to be exact. That is $64.19 over what I'd like to spend. BUT-I had to buy razor blades (those things are so darn expensive!), cat litter and cat food. I wanted to buy wasp spray and a new garbage can since the lid to our current one is missing but that will have to wait until next week. This trip should be my last grocery trip until May. BUT-I'll wait to add the grand total together until April 30/May 1.
