Well we made it! It is almost the end of the month. I had a pretty good week this week. I didn't do my weekly shopping this week. We decided on Sunday to treat our friends to dinner since they helped us with a huge project of hauling dirt so I spent $50 buying dinner and other goodies. I did get milk and eggs too so that helped me with not needing to go later in the week.
That brought my budget to $205 for the month leaving me with $45 left to spend. We are going camping this weekend so I will be going to the store tomorrow to pick up a few things. I shouldn't have any problem staying under $45 since most of the food we are taking I already have.
I think this was a successful challenge for me and I look forward to doing it again. How do you think you did for the month? Do you think you would try it again? Mr. Linky is having issues so I will try and put it up. If it doesn't work just put your post site in the comments. Thanks for joining me on this challenge and maybe we'll do it again sometime!
Here's MineI'm definitely extending this into June. We still have tons of food in our pantry and freezer. I didn't do as well as I had hoped, but I don't feel that I did horribly. Here's to doing better next month.
ReplyDeleteYou did great this month! It always feels so good to complete a self imposed challenge, way to go!
