Well it's been a couple weeks since I posted and it's been a real spendy couple of weeks. Let's see dh's birthday was last weekend, father's day this weekend. Let's just say I have fallen completely off the frugal wagon - but am hopping right back on tomorrow!
Our electric bill came in - it's NOT good - over $200 already! Back to hanging out ALL laundry.
Today I have the a/c off and the house opened up -it's about 92 outside but there is a nice breeze and a couple of ceiling fans and it's nice in here.
Tracking all spending again - dh is on vacation this week. There will be some planned spending BUT definitely want to keep it down as much as possible.
I am not able to work as many hours as I had hoped. But I am considering opening up an online business that I had before. So we'll see how that goes. I'll update a little later on the decision.
Have a great day!

Grocery spending Goal $550
Ef - get that up to $400 or more
Keep up with the budgeting.
I would love to save more - but dh's birthday and father's day is in June. So $$$ will be spent there. I am taking dh away for the night on his birthday - got a hotel on the beach and dinner out for about $100. Got a very good deal - we stayed in the same hotel last year and it was great!
Working - I would like to make $200 more than I normally do. Since I work from home - it's possible. If I meet this goal - the extra will go towards the car payment and savings.
So I guess those are the main goals for the month of june. Oh besides learning to scratch cook more.

Here were the goals:
May Goals:
1. Lower Grocery bill to $600/spent $518.70 I did it! I came in under our goal!
2. Car loan $8200/$6150 ** need to check this tomorrow exactly what it went down to.
3. Start an EF - so far $200.02 I started with $1 on May 10, 2006
We weren't saving anything and spending $1000 plus per groceries! That's insane!! I am not even sure HOW we were doing that?
So I think we are finally on the right track!
