A scary and embarrassing number, but I have decided it must be documented to prevent future major slips. 300.55... That is right we have spent 300.55 in dining out. Not including grocery money... That is like my whole goal budget for the month. Bad Courtney. No more - we have a dining out budget and spending money for each person to get to use how ever we choose. That is where that money should come from. Yikes.
I have lots of excuses, but they are just that, excuses. Vain attempts to justify and rationalize bad choices. I will do better starting tomorrow. Looking at this changes my goal $ for this weeks shopping, and will require me to do some out of the pantry planning. I will be making an inventory and devising a plan based on what we have.
I might have to call my mom for help.
Hang in there! At least you kept track- most of us don't even check! How about french toast for dinner? Time to crack out the canned beans & make some rice. Keep up your hard work- and think of how much you might have spent if you weren't paying attention!
