For March I overspent:
$47.81 puppy food (supposed to be reimbursed)
$20.89 Blockbuster (in store rentals)
$14.02 Burger king
$25.00 adoption donation
$10.00 other donation
$32.00 basketball pictures
$10.50 Girl Scout cookies
$14.74 Chocolate village
$48.00 thrift shop
$13.00 thrift shop
$ 5.87 Five guys
$12.18 McDonald's
$86.77 JcPenny (clothes and sneakers for boys)
$50.62 puppy food (supposed to be reimbursed)
$30.00 adoption donation
$18.18 Blockbuster (online monthly fee)
$210.00 A.C.Moore (sewing machine and supplies)
$21.50 supplies for mentos experiment
$ 8.58 pizza
$ 9.95 Wawa sub
$ 9.52 Burger king
$ 7.49 Blockbuster
$55.65 sewing supplies
$25.50 new checks
$19.47 Blockbuster (in store rentals)
$157.27 Costco (for 7 person tent)
$10.85 books online
$953.86 (I am too tired to recheck that amount.)
Yikes! I am in shock! This is so bad. I didn't even know it was this bad. I am embarrassed!
We have a library almost as close as Blockbuster, yet I gave them over $60 this month on movie rentals and late fees. We so do not need that!!!
And I am trying to eat healthier and lose weight, yet we frequent fast food places.
This has been such an unhealthy and unfrugal month!!!
Some things like the clothes and checks were needed. I also sold some things online to make extra money this month. In addition I got a rebate I was expecting (that I used for the sewing machine.) The puppy food I am supposed to be reimbursed for.
I did get my tax refund this month, so this is where the extra money came from. But I can think of some better ways to spend some of that money (like not on movies and fast food.)
Typing these things really helps me to see I need a heart adjustment.
I, of course, can not overspend like this every month or any month.
I just moved all money from my checking to my savings account, as to not spend it on other stuff.
I also am going back to cash only, my debit cards are obviously not working very well for me.
Mia Culpa!!!
