I'm going to start doing all my Super Saving Saturday posts in this format. I find is easiet to do it this way!!! Click on the photo above to enlarge it. Also I MIGHT make a run to Wags on Saturday, I have $20 in RR expiring on Sunday. Also I don't have a SET in STONE budget. I'm still in the testing out stage to see about what I spend each month. My projected budget is around $300 a month or $75 a week. That includes anything Grocery or Household related. I do not include Diapers in this budget. I buy diapers about every three months or so at Toys R Us. I buy the huge boxes.
Total Spent: $62.58 (under $12.42) Total Saved: $158.29 or 72%
A $300 budget is what I set for myself. It seems to give us plenty of wiggle room. I know most months we are under that, but there are always going to be those months of unexpected expenses.
Our budget is $175 a payday (2 weeks). I think it is working pretty well since we have changed our eating habits. However ours could be a lot less with only 1 toddler. I have 2 preteen girls who eat like they are men and are teeny tiny. Oh to be young again!! :)
My name is Mandy. I just graduated college and earned my Nail Technician License. I work at a Spa doing Manicures & Pedicures!! I live in Southern, IL. I'm married to my soul mate Dustin and we have a 2 year old energetic son, Keaton. I've been couponing since August 2009. It has changed my life and the way I shop. I just want to share with others how I shop and how much you can save. :) Enjoy
Woo hoo, I got prime location for my linkys!! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah!! I was using another linky system and it messed up on me, so I JUST switched to this one.
