Was trying to budget for this year, but that didn't work out so well... again! There has been so much going on, so much stress in this household, and now that everything is quieting down once again I'll try staying within a budget of $3200 (one month's pay) from now until the end of the year *fingers crossed*. Obviously this budget won't include utilities/rent YET, but definitely next year since we're moving and will be living in military housing then. We spent a good deal of this paycheck stockpiling...

And I'll try to keep up with it this time! We want to spend no more than $200 on anything not bill related, trying to stick with these guidelines so we know what we can actually budget out next year, i.e., Jane's $800/year! I'll update on my blogspot blog, lalanpnut.blogspot.com :)

Just got back from our monthly grocery shopping at the commissary, spent $117.23. Still have to run to Walmart this evening, since our commissary is the size of a closet lol, get some bread and veggies :)

Total for the year:
$117.23
