OK, so I completely blew my wishful thinking budget of $20 this week. I hadn’t thought about the grocery store deals I had planned to get, or that I needed to pick up some chicken for dinners this past week. I also had forgotten to include some gifts from the previous week so I’ve now nearly spent my household budget for the entire month – with 2 weeks left to go! I’m just going to have to remember that I was under budget last month and hope that I average overall if I can stay under in November.
