Hey guys! Another week has gone by, so I wanted to share an update on how things are going. Definitely slipped a few times, but overall I feel like it was a really good week!
As planned, I did buy some pie, but only went one time! I know that doesn't seem like a victory, but the week before I went twice in two days. (I'm telling you, that pie is some serious business!) One afternoon, I took the kids out for lunch but was able to trim the cost by using a gift card they got for Christmas.
My biggest success of the week was, again, our grocery trip. Last week I spent about half of our normal, but this week our bill was a little over 1/3 of normal. Yep, 1/3. We were able to do that because we are continuing to use up what we have in the freezer and pantry. At this point, we've used up our supply of meat.
I went back to the grocery store today to pick up items to get us through the end of the month. Again, the bill came out to be 1/3 of normal, but in this case, it's not going to last us the entire week.
My goals for the last 5 days of February are to not eat out (except a pie trip on Saturday), to stay away from Target, and to go to the grocery store only for fresh strawberries for a dessert I'm making on Monday. We are planning a trip to the store to pick up a few items for gardening this weekend, but other than that, I hope to not spend any more money for the rest of the month.
So how did week 4 go? Tell me in the comments!
I plan on posting one more time in this series to share our final "results". See you then!
Kelly
