It's Monday morning, do you know where your money is going?

Or what are you doing today to save some

I'll be staying at home (I hope) and doing laundry all day. We were away for the weekend and man, does that stuff pile up when you get home. I've got to workout, drink tons of water and get back into the healthy eating groove. We had a weekend of wild eats (!) in celebration of dd's college graduation. It was fun but now it's over and got to get back to the focused, deliberate eating mode again.

What's going on for you today?

Me too. I tend to eat junk food when I am with my extended family and I need to stop that! I haven't gotten much exercise lately either due to the cruddy weather (I usually ride a bike or take dogs hiking). I'll be glad when I can get back into a routine!
I spent nearly $40 on gas today and about had a heart attack. I know, that probably isn't much compared to sum but this is getting out of hand! Regular unleaded should NOT be 2.88/ gallon!

I'm trying something new to record my spending -- I took a plain piece of looseleaf, folded it in half length-wise and then folded it in 4s, so I have 8 squares of paper. I wrote my goals for the week in the first square, and then dated the rest Monday thru Sunday. I am going to write down my spending and my savings on this paper and see how I do! Hopefully it will keep me more focused on my spending. Especially since I'm trying to save for my vacation in June.

I went grocery shopping and tried to stick to only what was needed. Did o.k. but forgot the coupons! I still did pretty good. I am trying to cut down on coffee. I have been trying to have breakfast at home or on the go in the morning to avoid the muffin or donut that I tend to buy before work. I also put 42.00 of gas in my car for my long commute to work and hopefully it will last until Friday. I had better try to figure out how to save a bit more with these prices.
