We got our monthly check to Carrefour today (10 euros). Sometimes we get more or less, but my hope is that I can do well again next week on groceries (with good planning and sales) and really only spend another 15-20 in cash. I love the Carrefour fidelity program, it keeps the budget down IF you plan and work it. I still wish I could coupon here like they do in the US….
