Under Budget by $39.60!!!
I've been so busy that I haven't been chasing as many sales. On the down side, my stockpile is a little lower than I prefer it be. On the up side, I haven't been shopping as much!
I mentioned earlier in the month that I was low on staples and I did manage to get some spices and flour that I needed, but never did get that Olive Oil.
I'll be leaving August's budget (July 31-September 3) at $40/week or $200 for the month.
I was contemplating lowering the budget, but we have a bunch of BBQs and the like. I'm hoping for some nice sales and coupons to rebuild my stockpile a little. Our little garden is giving us some nice zucchinis and tomatoes, which should help keep the produce budget lower.
