Rub those pennies!
Blarg.
I have been horrible about updating on here. Ive had so much going on. And sickness has invaded my life. This weather has really screwed me up and over.
So im going to make this short and sweet.
As of March 10 2014- I have NOT spent over 50.00 a month on my food budget for the house.
In fact, so far this month i have only spent 25.00 and only because it was a good sale.
However, I will note that we did order pizza out to celebrate one night. And we have had some fast food here lately. But with the money we didnt spend last month we carried it over to this month. Not great for two reasons- one my diet and 2 my budget. But we are back on track. Every person is human and has off days ( or weeks)
I have had to turn our heat off. Which is not idea. But our electric bills have been through the roof! So we are hoping mother nature decides to kick winter on its hiney and bring in the spring. We had it turned down to 68 but just last week turned it off. Trying to cut corners as much as we can. We can layer on more than we can take off. (ill be wishing for cooler weather in a few months im sure)
Our 3 year anniversary is coming up in a month. However, we do believe he will ( hopefully) be gone to ALS (military) by then. It would be the best anniv. present ever. So pray!!!
We finally sent that cable box back to the cable company :) So bye bye DirecTV for good. Now if we could just find cheaper internet service!
FYI- I am working towards paying off all our old debt ( credit cards that are in default, loans, current debt) by the end of 2014. So this might be a very slim year for us in so many ways. I actually have told hubby that while he's gone for 2 months ( since they will be feeding him) that I will be eating a lot of soup and rice and salad to cut back on our budget even more. Hoping not having to pay for gas for 2 months will also help us out.
If you are out there struggling- remember- someone else is there for you. Im here if you ever wanna talk.
