It is looking like another unorganized month for my Budget. I’m adjusting to having two more people in the house since my oldest daughter and her SO are here. Plus I have not been doing my job of meal planning like I know I should and I do notice that reflected in our spending. Our Budget coincides with my husbands once month paycheck so it goes from the 23rd of the month to the 22nd of the following month. As of today, I’m well into having spent a good chunk of money. Here is what I’ve spent so far…

Tonight I’ll be going to the farmers market and picking up my Beef CSA (50.00). I’m thinking that I’ll spend around $20 or so at each market visit unless I find some great deals for buying in bulk to preserve for the winter. And I’m going to need to make another grocery store trip or two also. I’m setting a budget of $550 for this month. That leaves me $226.49 available until August 22. I’ll try to do a better job this month of keeping track then I did last month.
