March Financial Check-Up

Hosted by MoneySavingMom
Our month of February went pretty well, all things considered.
I stayed inside my weekly budget of $100, $30/$20 (personal mad monies), and made the payments of more than "what we spent +10% goal" on the credit cards. The balances are moving downwards! We are spending much less on them, mostly just the gas on our Costco Amex since we get the 3% back on gas. And any online purchases we are trying to use our debit card instead of the credit card.
God has been so good to bless my shopping-- this week I have already used up my budget, but because of all the food we scored on the last few weeks, I don't need to go to the store. I even used up the leftovers from last week-- we had some big purchases this week. Critter Ridder for the garden $13, stamps $41, batteries $12, baby shower gift $20, new collar for the dog $8, new fan for the computer $21. These ate up the $150 really fast. But God is good! Only today and tomorrow, and then we have a new week. I have $1 to last two days-- do you think I can do it?
