I have mentioned before that I really like this format-just bulletin points with a little to no connection between them so I am going to adapt it a little bit , give myself permission to change between them randomly, and attempt to make it a regular part of my blogging.

1. Harris Teeter is having one of their super double events. This means they will double up to 20 coupons a day up to $2.00 each. Of course we shopped yesterday, I spent 17.16 and saved 77.14 or 82%. I was most excited with this because they were out of at least 3 of the items on  my list.  But even more exciting was the fact I bought Band-aids, Tide pods, and dishwasher tabs to name a few.

2. My grocery budget is currently sitting at $302 spent for the month, I am hopeful to keep this amount low for the month to help pay off debt.

3. My gas budget is sitting at $233 for the month. This includes several minor repairs for the white van that we purchased in addition to an oil change for my car as well. I am almost confident that this amount will say under our budgeted $400.

4. We were pleasantly surprised to not have to have the white van inspected prior to purchasing tires for it. We did pay $126 for tags and taxes for the first year. This amount is in addition to the regular gas budget, because this is a one time expense that will decease to less than $50 any other years that we owe the vehicle.

5. Haley will be purchasing my car, over the next several months. I am still debating and deciding how to use and account for this money.   I will be deducting the $126 above from her down payment otherwise I hope to place in a saving account until it is completely paid for and then make a big debit payoff with it!
