Budget: $70.00 Actual: $86.64 Definitely over budget this week! We saved $17.38, though, so thank goodness for coupons and the Kroger plus card. Last week… meals didn’t really turn out as planned. At all. Who knew it was going to be so difficult to just muster up the motivation to stand for any period of time… Continue reading Project: Food Budget – Week 11
My most recent (completed!) knitting project
This Friday’s “A Glimpse Of…” is going to be all about the hobby I recently picked up: knitting. The local yarn shop where I learned to knit gave me a basic pattern for an envelope pouch.

Week 8 Budget – $70.00 Actual – $36.50 Week 9 Budget – $70.00 Actual – $73.49 So, week 8 our spending was drastically down because I was sick most of the week.
