Update on our Spending Looking at our Budget

by 1 Comment

 

Christmas in the post-War United States

 

I am focusing on reducing our food budget for the time being.  In the month of December our budget for our family of 4 was approximately 750.00.  This include a new family member foster child who is currently living with us.

My goal for the month of December will be 700.00 including my Christmas baking gifts.  I will do my best to get to that goal let’s see how I do later this month.

Do you have a food budget?  What is your budget for your family?

 

Let me know your thoughts in the comments and maybe even your blog url so we can give one another tips.  Thanks and Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays 🙂

Well it’s Dec 20 and my head is spinning a bit.  I have a few things to still get done, including sending my Christmas card.  (well to be truthful I just finished printing them this morning) Okay you can shake your finger at me now, I have procrastinated to the last minute shame on me.

Other things on my to do list: (some I will get done today a few I know I won’t get done but I put them on the list anyway)

  • Touch up spare room
  • Make baking gifts for hubby’s job
  • Color my hair (the gray is adding up)
  • Laundry (oh dear that monster is getting big again)
  • Crafts with my kiddos to give the grandparents

I am sure there is more just have to think about it and write it down

What do you still have to do for the Holiday’s?
