If you'll remember this post, I had a budget of $210 to spend for the month of November. After my first shopping trips of the month I was down to having only $48.95 left to spend in order to stay within my budget. This was especially challenging for me since I had a party this month also.
I have been to the grocery store 5 times since then to get things I forgot or things I wasn't sure I needed. Wow! I never thought I would have been back that many times. I am keeping a list of the things I bought, so they won't be forgotten next time.
During those trips, I spent $48.72. Which leaves me with .23 left to spend. So, right now I am under budget, barely. There are 5 more days left in the month after today. I wish I could say I won't have to buy anything else, but I'm not sure. I may need more milk, so we'll just have to see. I will post again next week to let you know the final totals.

I am really impressed that you were able to keep your budget so low. Don't be hard on yourself if you go a few dollars over, you have to have milk!

You're doing a great job. This was a big step for you!
I really blew my budget after buying what I needed for Thanksgiving. It sounds like you're doing great, even if you do only have .23 left!
I'll have to get back on track next week!
You are doing great! I wish I could say I was under budget this month but I'm not especially after a meat sale!
What's December's goal?
