I have felt the need to get back to being super frugal for a month or so. We still live pretty simple but have let some things get a bit relaxed.
The last 2 weeks have been very slow for the fiance's work. He has even started working with another contractor part time and applying for every job he can find at night. I am working during the summer and while I don't make a lot, it is money.
So here our the reasons we need to cut back and find every.single.penny we can.
We are getting married! Family is paying for $0.
Fiance needs a work vehicle.
and---
a large medical bill is knocking on the door... $1000.xx
So.. on that note. We will have little to NO money for a mistake. We have agreed on a spending freeze and will be going over the budget for next month.
It is hard to budget when it comes to his income especially now that we have no idea what work is coming up. But, my job is pretty reliable for 30-ish hours a week. I have requested more hours, as well.
To do for Tomorrow-
figure out what is due
what bills we have for next month
list items for sale on ksl
clean out deep freeze and unplug
pantry list
freezer list
menu plan
organize coupon binder
Sunday-
reopen all mystery shopping accounts
continue applying for jobs
I can't really think of anything else that will be helpful. Does anyone have any ideas?
