Praise God for penny-pinching

I feel like I'm writing for love God, not money, but I was just so excited about my food buying that I had to share.

Tomorrow's Thanksgiving for 4Fs (our United Campus Ministry's weekly gathering), and I'm in charge of snackage.

Since it's Thanksgiving, I was told to make sure it was good.

Our normal budget for food is $15. I was told I could go a little over if needed, but it'd be better not to push the budget too far this early in the year.

I bought the following:
3 Liters of Coke- $3.92
2 Boxes of Giant brand vanilla wafers- $3
2 Frozen Pumpkin Pies (each will feed 8-12 people)- $5.98
2 Containers of Cool Whip- $2

Total w/ tax(for those of you who don't like math either)- $15.14

Amount of money saved (b/c of a Giant bonuscard, and buying just the right things)- $6.31

Yay!
