Notes: I really didn’t pay any bills this week because I am doing that next week. We kinda spent a lot on groceries this week, meats and produce are really spendy. I got tons of lunch-meats so this should last for the whole pay period.
Also, that $7.49 12-pack of soda was ridiculous—my Honey did this one though, so not entirely my fault. The $2 transfers on weekdays are to save up to pay our car insurance in full every 6 months because it save us some money.
