My $280 a month budget includes groceries, toiletries, sundries, and various other words ending with "ies."

I am okay with not having super high savings percentages. We came in under budget even with having guests and various entertaining engagements. That's what a good stockpile and freezer cooking will do for you - help stretch your budget so you don't blow your budget.
LOL, I was thinking this weekend that I had missed my April update. Poking around yesterday I realized I also missed March. Guess we were distracting each other :-)
ReplyDeleteI should also add that 75 and 87 percent is fabulous for overall savings!
