One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

David
11/28/2009 – 12/4/2009: $104.00 Remaining
Money Saved Since 11/5/2009: $46.07

Weeks like this are not much fun. So I finished the week with $10.06 remaining, which usually means my “saved” number goes up.  But this is the “bad bill” month. Every 3 months we get our trash bill and our water bill. Add on to that our extra assessment bill for the streets, and I needed to add an extra $30 to the bills over what I had budgeted.  It has to come from somewhere on this tight of a budget, so the “saved” number dropped by $30.  Oh well – at least the two bills don’t come back for 3 months, and the assessment for 12.

Add into that a meal out, and we are at $104 remaining for the week, which isn’t that bad.  We have 4 meals ready to go in the house without even shopping, so our trip to TJ/Rainbow tomorrow will be minimal.

Now it’ time to head out to do some shopping. We’re gonna check out the Habitat store, followed by some initial research on ranges.
