As November is coming to an end- how does everyone feel they did on the November chaalenge? I would rate myself as fair. I did not do so well with the not spending aspect, but I do have to say that I have used up quit a bit from our pantry. One nice thing is that hubby gets paid the last day of November. So December 1st, I will be doing a lot of grocery shopping! I am planning on trying to do this challenge again next month (as matter of fact, I think I should try to do this for now on!). I think I will be able to do this challenge much better when the really cold months get here again- I hate going out in the cold!

I think I did pretty good! I pretty much stayed within my budget quidelines and didn't overspend much at all. Which for me was excellent! I'm gonna try harder for Decemeber as we have the holiday to deal with, to stay way below my budeted allowance. I will be using everything I have here, and only gocery shop for things I need right now.

Back together!! Sept 28th Boston TDCenter!! Woohooooo!

I did o.k. We didn't really have the extra $ to really go hog wild at the grocery store, so I managed to not spend too much, and use up what I had. I have ran out of ground beef and will use the last of my chicken breasts tonight. I'm also going to try and continue the grocery challenge into December. It will be hard though, b/c I host my family's christmas dinner and we do christmas goodies for about 10 offices in our town. I'm really going to cut down on what I make this year. I am going to do angel food this month for sure, they have a really good menu this month.

I would say good. I have used up almost all my gift stockpiles. the rest i am going to donate to my church. i am really trying to declutter.

I would say I did fair. I am going to do the challenge again for December, should we all post again? I love the support!

I would have to say I did pretty good on using things up. But I need to better planning my meals. And with the spending part I really did good. We had a whole 30.00 left so I will be going to get an extra turkey to put in the freezer.

I'm ashamed to say I missed the November run but would like to know about a challenge for December. Let me know???

Thanks.

Even though I am fairly new I think I would like to try too. Is that possible. Also I have a question about the coupon trains. When can you join one of those?

I would say my dh and I did fair. We started writing down all of our bills (his old credit card bills added up to $2400 this month!) and will be starting to work with a credit counselor next month. We have only bought something if it was a necessary and if we could get a good deal (coupon, generic, or on sale). We should get better in the coming months as we create a budget and really stick with it.

I did good for November and looking to do even better in December!!!
