I completely, and I mean COMPLETELY, busted the budget this week. There were so many great deals that I could not pass up. Add to that the things I needed around the house and VOILA-budget buster. I did bust the budget, but my stockpile closet is actually moving to another spot in my house because it won't fit in my kitchen pantry anymore.
