I will try and do this check-in on Monday mornings but no guarantee. If I forget remind me.

Re: ~*~*~Weekly Budget Check-in~*~*~
Good luck with your grocery budgeting! I've been doing it for over a month now and loving it! It makes me feel so good when I stick to my goal and don't go over budget. And it definitely helps to have it all written out beforehand, it lessens the impulse buys. I can't wait to hear how you do!

Have you set your goals and made your plans to achieve it? I feel like all our goals are short term. I am not really seeing a bigger plan of where we need to be financially. I guess that is what we need to work on.
What have you done to work towards your goal? Are you on track with your plans? We are really learning how to say "no" and adjusting to living on less. We are working to be more organized and have more communication about our finances wich seems to be half the battle
Did you have any set backs this week? Yes! Too many "I'll just stop by the store on my way home to get a few things..." It adds up
Tightwad tip: not really a tip because I'm not sure if it is going to work yet. I brought some stuff to the consignment store and am hoping it sells so I can make a few bucks.
my dogs doing better, she just needed an antibiotic.
Thanks for doing this Jenn! I always appreciate it.
