Where Did It Go? 06-15-12

I've been trying to track exactly what I buy with the grocery money for months now.  I never make it past a few days before I forget about something and decide to wait 'til next month.

Hmmm, kinda like starting a diet on Monday...

I've decided that it'll be easier if I just track per payday; and track daily instead of waiting to do one all-encompassing post.

So here we go:

This payday I have either $180, or $130; depending on whether or not I take my $50 blow money.  I will probably wait 'til the end of the pay period and see if can feed us without needing to use "my" money.



Eggs dozen                     $0
Milk 2Gal                  $3.98
Hormel Pork Loin 2 $10.00
                                $13.98

The eggs were free by signing up for the Just4U program at Safeway.
Had I taken the time to look at the coupon inserts that were in my car, I would've saved an extra $2 on the pork.  At $5 each, it was still a pretty good deal; but dangit - 2 bucks coulda gotten me another dozen eggs! Oh well, lesson learned.

As I was typing this out I realized I forgot to take several pictures.  Oops.  If I remember, I'll add them before we eat that stuff.  ;p

My total for yesterday and today is $136.11, added to the previous $13.98 brings me up to $150.09.

So I've already dipped into "my" money.  I will have to buy fruit next week.  And maybe Red Bull.  I am going to try to see if I can get up early without it and save it only for workouts.  We'll see how that goes.
