This\u00a0definitely is not the $300 I had anticipated and hoped for this month however it does include $110 for the Costco membership that I thought had paid and is still under for the month. We are continuing to clean out the stockpile, I actually have an empty shelf. I am not sure where this will end up in November, a goal would be under $300 but I do have 120# of chicken that we will pick up on Saturday so I know that I will be spending some money to get this prepared for the freezer.<\/p>\n<p><strong> 4. Gas: Spend $400 a month with any remaining to be move to Auto fund for repairs.\u00a0 <\/strong>Total Spent $453. This does include tags, title and insurance for the truck so that is what set up over the top. In November we will be making a trip to Michigan and anticipate some major changes in our cars but I don&#8217;t want to talk about that until it occurs. I have not doubt that I will not met this goal in November!<\/p>\n<p>50% this month. I had really anticipated that October would be a lower spending month for use however it happened to be the opposite. I anticipate November being around the same because of our trip and the holiday. At least I can see progress!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blogging:\u00a0 Goal: 15 per month\u00a0I am posting this on Thursday and post number 15 is scheduled for Halloween (Friday).
