I am a day late with this but yesterday was one of those day when I was not home enough to post….

1. Emergency Fund at $1000 by the end of the month. I did some extra work at the Nursing home for the past two weeks so this should help. But in reality no extra money came in this week.

2. Grocery spending at $200 or less not including our Zaycon Food chicken order. We are continuing to eat out of our freezer with a couple of list going on. The first is on the side of the refrigerator, this is a list of items that will be purchased on the first shopping trip to Costco in October. The second list is a list of all the available meals that we can make. It has been helping as we can look and decide in the morning what will be for dinner that evening without checking three different place. I have already spent $80 of our $200 grocery budget. Our only local grocery store is having their “brand” sale this month. This basically is where you have an additional $0.25 off each item between 4-40 that is a store brand. We combined this with a regular sale to stock up on canned veggies at $0.25 a piece and frozen veggies at 0.75 a bag. I am really pleased in how much we were able to stock up and my plan is to stick to the budget!
