Budget Check in….

I did better this week to make up from last week!

We bought:  1 tank of gas ($40!!), 1 set of movie tickets (on sale!), 1 dinner with friends, and an oil change for my car.  All these were within our budget!

I am thinking that I will roll over my grocery money from this week to this weekend, because we do need to do some restocking.  Shopping several stores once every two weeks is so much easier than trying to do it every week.  (I still make small trips here and there, but plan most of my trips for Saturday.)

Oh, and I owe hubby big time.  I almost caved and tried to get us to go out to eat on Tuesday night.  He grilled supper instead, while I worked on coupon matchups.  (Thanks hubby!)

Envelopes Update:

I get my monthly pay this coming week.  We will fully fund our envelopes with this money, and I am super excited.  (Because I haven’t been paid since mid-December!!)

After we are able to do this for a month, I will update you on any amounts that we need to adjust.  I know that we might have to learn a little as we go!

Debt Update:

First Goal: Pay Lowes $1,987.92

I have saved $100 toward my next payment.  I hope that the next two weeks will allow me to finish off the $1,000 goal for this month!

What about you?  Did you curb your spending this week?  Did you start your emergency fund or debt snowball?  How are you budgeting for groceries and other need items?
