No Spend Update

 

We spent some money last weekend. Not a ton, but probably more than we should have. The only plus side here being that it was all on food. We spent $10 on donuts, definitely an extra, but we did pay for it out of our food budget for the month, so technically allowed.

As it was Labor Day weekend, we had my sister and her family over for swimming and dinner, so we sent The Kids to the grocery store to pick up some stuff. That added another $26,77 to our tally for the month. That leaves us with $285.66 left to spend out of our $500 budget.

We are not in the danger zone quite yet, but we are inching towards it. We will have to be careful of our spending for the rest of the month to ensure that we have a successful No Spend September.

We are over a third of the way through the month, but we are almost through half of our money for the month. I don't know how successful we are going to be, but we are going to track it and see how it all falls out.

Tomorrow actually brings another Costco trip where we need a lot: milk, fruits and vegetables, eggs, chicken... and that's just what I can think of off the top of my head. 

If we can have $75 left over after our shopping trip, we have a chance of meeting our budget goals, but only if we are diligent!
