$60 or less challange

$60 or less challenge: Week of 10/17
The Coupon world is Feast or Famine! Some weeks it’s easy to decide what to get because there is not much to choose from, but other weeks when it seems like every store an AMAZING sale, it’s hard not to spend a fortune on ‘deals’! Here is my attempt on this very bountiful week to keep it under control by spending no more than $60 out of pocket!
