END OF JANUARY RECAP...

THIS MONTH WAS A HUGE STOCK UP MONTH, MUCH MORE THAN I GENERALLY SPEND PER MONTH. HOWEVER, I KNOW THE SALE CYCLES PRETTY GOOD AND I KNOW THAT I WILL NOT HAVE TO BUY ANY CAN GOODS, PASTAS, JUICES, CEREALS, BUTTER ( IN DECEMBER I BOUGHT 20 POUNDS THROUGH A FRIEND THROUGH MY CHURCH FOR APPROX. $25.00), CLEANING SUPPLIES, MEDICINES AND MOST OF THE HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS FOR THE NEXT 3 TO 6 MONTHS. PLUS I HAVE PLENTY OF BIRTHDAY PARTY GIFTS TO LAST A FEW MONTHS.... SO WITH THAT SAID, IT FREE'S MY BUDGET FOR MEATS, BOUNTIFUL BASKETS, MILK AND SNACK FOODS.

TOTAL SPENT THIS MONTH: $492.18
TOTAL SAVED THIS MONTH: $742.97 (WOWZERS)
TOTAL LEFT FOR THE YEAR: $2007.85

I KNEW MY ROUTINE THIS WEEK WAS GOING TO BE OFF WITH ROB STARTING HIS NEW JOB, CHURCH FUNCTIONS, AND THE GIRLS HAVING HALF DAYS DUE TO MIDTERMS, SO I TRIED TO PREPARE MOST OF THE TIME CONSUMING WORK ON SUNDAY NIGHT. I MADE TWO LOAFS OF CRANBERRY BREAD, CHOPPED ALL THE VEGGIES AND FRUIT FOR THE WEEK AND MADE HOME MADE UNCRUSTABLES ON SUNDAY NIGHT. IT HAS BEEN SO HELPFUL THIS WEEK! I ACTUALLY THINK I MAY DO IT AGAIN THIS SUNDAY. :)
