Scatterbrained and proud of it!!

Ok ok ok...
So in addition to the $100 weekly grocery budget there is also a $20 dining out portion as well as $10 drug store and $20 misc. Totaling $150 cash and divided into (pretend) envelopes!

So although I went over on my "drug store" budget ($13.88) I do have $7 left in my grocery so I end this week -$6.88


Not bad and Im still proud of myself haha

Finished making my list for next week already so I ran to the bank to get cash and headed on over to the store to pick up those things not "in my pantry" along with a few coupons (snack items for lunches or whatev.) I calculated things as I went and walked into checkout assuming $36.50 would be my total (with coupons). I admit I was slightly embarrassed to use coupons but had them in my hand on top of my $40 efficiently enough =) So far so good, right?? Well Im watching her scan them and paying attention to what they are deducting and it comes down to the last two, identical $1/1 coupon for Kraft Homestyle Mac (I was only buying them because I had the coupons and they were $2 so $1 after coupons) and the computer errored and wouldn't accept. So normally I would just say thank you and pay for my total but the NEW more $$ conscious me said thank you and grabbed the Mac out of the bag in my cart and asked her to take it off my total =) Which came to... $31.46 (for next week minus friday)

So who can't be a proud of a little personal growth!!
