Notes: We came in under-budget by $3.62 (which will be transferred to our savings tonight) , it was so close. After last week’s spending we had only $53.20 to last us this whole week. We didn’t dine out at all and bought groceries instead. I didn’t like this week at all, it really sucked. I’m pretty proud of us for not eating out at all, I’m hoping to keep it up so that we never have another week like this again. We should save dining out for special occasions instead of all the time.

 

How did your budget go this week?

  1. Bravo! Sounds like the eating part is what made it suck…hopefully once you get the feel for cooking it won’t be so bad!

    • @Nick- thanks. It’s crazy how much we depended on eating out, even though we felt better eating at home. Weird Stuff. I’m still reeling that we made it under-budget—I was stressed all week. I hope your budget (if u have one) went well this last week. :-)

  2. It went very well…although now that my (and hopefully you two’s as well) beloved M’s are playing some great ball, this could be one LONG summer!
