Spending

Well so far we have spent a ton on our mini vacation last week, about $1,000 it was money we had saved but wow I could have used alot of that for major debt pay downs. Now that we know involuntary layoffs are occurring we have chose to be careful about where our money goes. So spending has been way down this past few days and we hope to keep it that way, my entire family knows that involuntary layoffs are occurring and so far there have been no over the top requests for extra money. We still have school shopping to do and tuition to pay for so I'm hoping that work is busy busy. I'll be trying to get overtime in this next month so wish me luck.

I've been saving my money from my side job for extra stuff we have been doing but now with the layoffs coming I'm going to save it for school supplies and tuition. I have about $100+ saved right now and hopefully I'll have enough to at least buy school clothing for my kids by next month.

Spending

 

This week I spent very little except for bills. Today I paid the Mortgage, Gas bill, Car Payment ½ I usually pay ½ each pp, got cash out for jars. I did spent about $60 extra dollars paid my son to mow the grass and bought a book. We also got a call about involuntary layoffs at work so I'm hoping neither myself or anyone else will be out of jobs. I have been there about 25 years so hopefully it won't be me..

Spending

Today I spent $54.17 at the grocery store I used Cash as we have a jar we put $100 into each week for groceries. I got boneless porkchops on clearance for about $2.50 a package with 4-5 chops in each package, killer deal in my book. I don't think we'll need to spend anymore on groceries for the week except maybe milk but we'll see..

Spending

I have spent $48 getting my hair done, cut and foil, $20 on books for kindle, Paid the Insurance for the month about $185 dollars, Filled our cash jars for the week and Loaned my mom $50 which she says she will pay back on Wednesday ( I used the money from my jars for this.) I still have about $75 dollars in checking and will be missing a day of work from my next times paycheck so I'll be scrimping during that 2 week period also. Our staycation of 5 days is starting this week and I know we will be spending money then but I have money in my jars for food and such and hopefully we won't kill our budget.

Spending

No spend day yesterday I'm very glad. Today or tomorrow I will get cash out and I have two checks and two lotto tickets I need to cash in so I will have money to put in my extra jar for our trip. I am hoping not to spend much if anything today..

Spending 7-10 thru 7-12

Today I have spent $43.00 on Gifts. I have a party to attend later today. And am hoping some of my side business picks up and starts selling better, I've improved my search feature so here's hoping it works.. I also spend $42.61 on hobby stuff and about $22.00 on Hobby stuff and put $100 on the debt we are working to pay off. I work the rest of the week so hopefully not too much spending during that time frame, although I will be having my car worked on sometime this week.

Spending Today

I was lucky today and only spent $16.17 on pet food, I do have to reimburse my jar for some money my DH took out to go to the movies (without me I might add) but I'll see If I get around to that. I don't need groceries yet so maybe Monday for those..

Payday

With Today being Payday I have paid most of the bills and still have about $100 left over. I'm hoping to put another blob of money down on debt as I can see the  light at the end of the tunnel on one. But I also got a medical bill $1100 I will have to put on payment plan, but I can have that directly removed from my paycheck and that is what I'll be doing until it is paid off. I still have a few bills to pay but have already taken out an approximate amount for each of those as they are not due until next week and I have found if I don't take them out I spend the money..

Two weeks until our mini vacation friday thru monday I'm looking forward to it..

Spending

We spent $184.56 at the grocery store today and have been very good about not spending any more money then necessary. I did have to take some money from my stash to buy gas for our car to get to work for the next 4 days but I'll try to replace that if I can on payday. I have food now for lunches and dinners so there will be no revolting in my house due to lack of things to eat. Although there is stuff to eat, just not what they wanted. I have to work pretty much the rest of the week so there should not be any more spending except bills on Friday. We did get a hospital bill in the mail that is over $2,900 and I only have about $1600 in my HSA so I'll have to make payments on that until it is gone. I have not had to buy a video card yet and I'm still hoping this one will last for awhile longer.
