Still on Track!

I just wanted to say I'm still on track for my monthly spending! Hooray!

Here's what I bought last week for my produce:

I was able to get all my fruits and veggies for the week for $9.56 - bringing my monthly total to $54.60. I get my produce mainly from a little store in White Rock/South Surrey called "Chan's." They remind me of the T&T I used to go to in Edmonton but the store is a little cleaner and the produce is one step up in quality. They tend to have the best prices overall for this area and they also have a clearance bin that often has some really great stuff in it for even cheaper! 

I am planning on going shopping again in the next day or two for the dairy/produce I'll require for the week of Sept. 15th-21st so we'll see how my budget continues to work. Chad has requested I buy popcorn (not exactly a perishable item...) and I think I will break my rules for him. He's an evening snacker and he usually eats chips or pretzels every night. He is running super low on his snacking options and I feel that buying a 1kg bag of popcorn seeds from Walmart for $1.67 is a sound investment into the happiness of my husband, lol.

Switching gears a little.....baby and I are still doing great :) I just had a prenatal appointment yesterday and everything is still progressing well. I get to endure the glucose tolerance test in the next couple weeks; lucky me! For those of you who have never experienced it or heard about it, it's a test that you have during your pregnancy where they make you drink this horridly sweet orange drink and make you sit in a waiting room for an hour. Then, they take your blood and test your sugar levels. It's not the worst thing in the world...there are obviously worse parts to pregnancy than drinking orange sugar water...but it's not all that pleasant either. But, it's all in the name of having a happy, healthy baby so bring it on!

Here's me and baby girl on Monday at 26 weeks pregnant. I got this shirt in the mail that morning from my Momma :) Love you, Mom!
