**Yesterday, I stopped by Rite Aid to pick up 3 12pk of Diet coke.  They were $12.99/3, plus get $2 UP rewards when you bought 3.  I used 3 coupons for Free 12packs that I got from mycokerewards.  I paid the $0.94 tax and got my $2 UP reward for my next purchase.

**Today, I also popped by Collins to pick up some steaks for a late family Valentine's dinner.  I spent $37.95 on the 4 steaks.  Keep in mind that I still had $38.12 left from my January budget and had said I might splurge at some point!
