This blog is about Family Finances. Sometimes the simple things say it best. Hear it in Heather's own words.

An interesting thought occurred to me yesterday. I went to Safeway to pick a few things up. They had cereal on sale and soup, and I had a coupon for both. I also picked up some spaghetti sauce and noodles, also on sale. So for two boxes of name brand cereal, three cans of Progresso Soup, a can of spaghetti sauce and a package of noodles, I paid $4.29 with tax.
Abbie was with me and asked if we could go get a Happy Meal. I said okay, she has been good and hasn't had a Happy Meal in awhile. That bill came up to $4.98 with tax. It was a small Sprite, French fries and 4 piece nuggets with a crappy toy.
I came home and took a picture of what you get for $5.00. Thought you would get a kick out of it.
