Ok, I dropped the ball. We had company come up to visit...and spent more than I would've liked to. It was cash, but STILL. (We did have a fun time, though ).
This will by no means be a "no-spend month", but I need to get myself more organized and stay on top of things. So here's what I aim to accomplish:
I'd like us to eat from our pantry/freezer as much as possible (I'll budget to re-stock the freezer next month...just want to get it "cleaned out"). I'm hoping to keep the grocery budget to $150.00, MAX. We'll need things like bread, sour cream, yogurt, etc. We have powdered milk in the pantry I want us to use up, so no milk buyin' this month!! Scratch cookin', here I come!!!!!
We have to get the oil changed on one car (we'll bring the oil and filter with us...it's a bargain that way...already have it). And it's wiper fluid stopped spraying...I have no clue what that will cost???
The other car needs new tires...we've already "pre-paid" our CC to cover this expense... That way we get the "points" on the CC...we're close to earning a Visa gift card for $25.
I want to get in a routine of exercising... So, my goal is to spend at least 30 min/day...3 times/week. Get myself moooooving.
Please help me stay accountable...I get "side tracked" these days... :box:
