I stayed
right on budget this month!
I did
the majority of my shopping at the very beginning of the month, as usual. I went back to the store once for produce and
to use up some coupons. I went back
again to take advantage of some sale items for stocking the freezer and
pantry. Those items have been
incorporated into November’s budget and will show up on next month’s budget.
Our
non-food budget spent this month was $21.64 for cat food, litter, fabric
softener, toothpaste and two toothbrushes.
I also got two reusable shopping bags from Fred Meyer for free with a
coupon they sent me.
Items in blue are my stock-up items. Here is
the final tally of everything I purchased this month:
