November Challenge for December

Missystuy · **November Challenge for December**

I see that alot of people want to try this challenge again, so here it is!

Let see how much we can use up what we have and NOT spend. REmembr Christmas is in 25 days!!

I'm totally onboard for this one this month and I will try harder to keep the spending at bay. My budget has been totally revamped. I wanted to use November to try and see how much we actually spent monthly on what we needed, and to see if we could actually stick to the budget. A few things were over, so I cut those down, and the ones that I still had room left on, I made a tighter budget. SO December WILL be a challenge for ME.

I'm on board. My hubby usually has a ton of side jobs going on- but this weekend there's none! Anyways- it's the icky bill (house and car insurance, car state inspection-Lord knows what we need to pass!) month so I have to do this anyways! I will do the not spending (although there is 2 presents I need to get still!).

Well I can tell you I didn't do too good yesterday. I went to the grocery store and bought more cereal (it was on sale and I had a coupon) and a big container of peanut butter (same thing as with cereal) for making cookies as dh only eats the super chunky kind but I like the creamy for baking. BUT I only spent $80, saved $15 with coupons and am on budget to only spend $200 for groceries until the 15th (our usual budget is $300 and I want to see how little I can spend).

uh oh, its only Dec 2, and I've already fell off the wagon! LOL Well not really, but.... WE went to a Birthday party today and we plan on going out tonight. I only spent $11 on the gift though, so not bad. Tonght we plan on going to see Christmas lights, that costs money, but we also plan on going out to eat. My mom is paying for that though.

Last night we ordered out for pizza cuz I was just too lazy to cook last night. I was in a bad mood anyhow from a rotten day at work, and starting AF.
