30 Day Spend Fast: Day 23

I did lots of running around to prepare for the busy weekend ahead of me! Discount bakery ($5), Produce Outlet ($10), craft store for sheet cake supplies/armed with coupon ($20), and a haircut for my son ($10).

I did manage to talk the kiddo out of going out to lunch, and myself out of stopping by Starbucks. Yay for me!

Oh yeah, and I bought 2 new trash cans at Lowes. Oh the luxury!

I'm It!

30 Day Spend Fast: Day 22

I stayed home all day and my house is clean and decluttered! And I didn't go on any spending sprees.

Then at night I went grocery shopping. I spent $40 over budget, but we are having a birthday party here this weekend for our son. Every week I notice food prices going up and up!
