September 2012 Monthly Spending

Here is where I will keep a list of our spending for the month of September. Our monthly budget has changed due to a couple of unexpected hospital bills. Until we get them paid off, we are going to attempt to have a $200 grocery budget. This is for everything for our family of 6 and 2 pets. We didn't do so well last month and went over.  Thank heavens, Michael's commission check covered our overages. And we were able to stock up on some much needed staples to make this month easier.  Let's see how we do this month:

09/03/2012
$78.23- Walmart
$40.75- Sam's Club
$7.33- Dollar Tree

09/10/2012
$34.33- Walmart
$11.64- Kroger
$8.03- Sam's Club
$5.20- Dollar Tree
$0.42- CVS and got $1 ECB

09/17/2012
$31.58- Walmart
$0.78- Chesterfield Berry Farm
$2.37- Martins
$6.28- Dollar Tree

09/24/2012
$31.02- WM
$2.16- Martins
$1.03- Dollar Tree
$0.55- Hobby Lobby

$261.70- Running Total for September

Well, we went over by $62.  Thankfully, Michael's commission check was bigger than we had thought it would be, so it was nice to have that money to cover our overage for this month.  I think we are going to do a lot better for October.  With our traveling and being able to stretch out our homemade Chicken Noodle soup and Chili- we still have plenty in our pantry and freezer that we will be using in October.  Let's see how we do in October:)
