$50 a week ~ Second Edition


This week was just about like last week. I think I need to change my goal to $52.xx a week because I keep going a couple of dollars over.

Week 2 = $53.97

I just can't get it to go under $50.oo. I could really, but I can't stay away from a great deal. Acutally, I am sending in a beer rebate for $10 off greeting cards so lookie there I am actually under. Does that count? I don't think it does because the rebate takes about a month to get to me and so it is still money OOP this week. (oop= out of pocket) I paid for a Walgreens transaction with my debit card for 3.xx because I forgot that I had cash on me, that has bugged me all week. Anytime I use my debit card it counts toward the budget, if I have cash from rebates I see it as extra. I don't see many great Walgreens and Rite aid deals and with the doublers at Albies this week I may come close to my goal. Wish me luck~here goes week 3!
BTW~ My dad thinks that I shoplift. He is kidding of course he just doesn't believe that I can actually feed my family food on $50 a week. So now the game is really on!
