Last night I stopped at Dollar Tree, Aldi's and Russ's.
I spent a total of $37, although some of that was stuff for DH.
A few dollars were also because Aldi's was out of SO much, so I had to substitute or get it elsewhere.
DH also spent $12 on grocery items last night.
We're looking like our total grocery spending (non-gift card) will be around $150 this month!
This week I need to pick up more cat litter and also refill our water jugs (for cats water dishes)
I can't think of anything else.

So ... yesterday I was updating our budget and was wondering why our income was so low. I figured out approximately how much more should be coming in, and it was a good $500 less than last month.
I knew DH has had several low tip nights, but that really only accounted for maybe $150.
So after doing some more sleuthing, I realized that DH's paycheck from the 12th had never been deposited!! That was about $300 (he gets paid a paltry hourly rate, but gets decent tips usually in cash, plus delivery fees to cover gas)
I thought I remembered him giving me the check, but it wasn't in my purse. I was starting to worry that maybe I had lost it!
Before I decided to tell him (major egg on my face) I thought that maybe I should look through all the paper junk on my desk.
After about ten minutes of searching, I found the check! I really need to encourage him again to get his dd info to his employer. Yikes.
Of course, it would also help if my desk wasn't a huge pile of papers ...
