I had a busy week this week and didn’t do as much shopping. That’s about the best way I know of to save money, time, and sanity! 
DS did keep asking when we were going to go to Walmart to see the pots though. That boy can’t get enough of cooking!

You did great, and for not doing much shopping you sure made it to a lot of places. Gotta love those rewards.
BTW are you signed up with Instant Cash Sweepstakes, I love that site, as their payments are almost instant.
