I love this feeling!

Theres a total of 300$ left on both of our credit cards! This will be paid off really soon, and I'm so excited! We paid off most of it with our tax refund which was great. They keep uping my limit on there after almost 3 years of having the card. It started at 700$ and now is up to 3,000$ which is bad....but it all happened within a few months.

So...Heres my March grocery budget....already over!:(

My boyfriend and I are on another spending freeze. We have our approved list, and our grocery budget is going to be 280$ for April. I'm going to go shopping weekly with a budget of 70$to see if its easier for me to shop for the week. We'll see how it goes...I might switch back in the middle of the month.

Next month my budget will be 270$* I have predicted myself to go over by 25 dollars this month. We've also added to our budget an extra 20$ or so for stockpiling when things have a great sale.
