So here is how my NEW budget is going to look:

$40 per week (down from $60 in 2009) for our household consumables- groceries, hba, cleaning supplies and paper products for me, DH and 2 ds's (6yo and 3yo) 3 cats and one mini pin (dog, <15 lbs) I am also including costs for my newspapers, I typically buy 5-10 every week.

I also do surveys to earn Paypal credits, some occasional rebates and pay-to-click for gift cards. These funds are funnelled back into my budget.

Here's to my goal of $2010 in 2010!

Starting out this month with:

April 2010 Budget Challenge

Posted 03-30-2010 at 12:57:12 PM by Cynthiabutterfly

Can I do it? This year has been harder than I thought it would be, and I almost wanted to 'surrender' and up my budget, then I realized that I was able to put money in my savings for the first time in 5 months, and that would not have been possible if I had blown my budget.

I'm counting the week starting 3/28 in my April spending, so 5 weeks for this month.

Starting out the month with:

CVS $6 ecb, no GC (waiting on $10 from MyPoints)
WG $4 RR $20.96...

March 2010 Budget Challenge

Posted 02-28-2010 at 03:37:59 PM by Cynthiabutterfly

Starting this month with some spending, so I won't have to do more juggling to keep my spending in check.

Have:
CVS $3 ecb $8.10 GC
Walgreens $10 RR $22.21 GC
Walmart $1.26 gc

No money left in PP, a few free coupons, but nothing expiring in March. Nothing else to speak of, just trying to stick with my $40/wk limit.

February 28

Fiesta
Donuts
Bread
Garlic
Cilantro
Limes
bananas
3lbs...

February 2010 Budget Challenge

Posted 02-01-2010 at 09:40:46 AM by Cynthiabutterfly

I’ve spent some time considering my grievous overspending in January, and I’ve come up with a workable solution. I am going to carry over the negative amount into my February spending, in hopes that I can curb my spending this month, and start to make up for my overspending.

With that in mind, I am starting the month with:

Target $3.82 GC (can’t believe I didn’t go to Target at all in Jan)
CVS $8.65 gc $5.49 ecb
WG $14 RR $0 gc (waiting on one from Mypoints)...
