Frugal Days = 4/15
Meals At Home Days = 6/25

Gas = $45.62/$120


I've noticed for me spending isn't too hard but for my darling husband it is. We just have to work extra hard on not having him spend. I'm also going to try to do more mystery shops if they are available for me, it's extra $$ in our pockets! I also hope to start sewing a lot more. Meal planning has been working out great except when my darling husband ate out, his fault for not packing lunch. But Skylar and I have eaten all our meals at home. I also went over our household supplies budget by $9 I'll have to readjust my budget next month.

How did you do this week?
