I began the month of May with $35 in my checking account and
full tanks of gas on both vehicles. Not
a bad way to begin a new month, that's for sure! On payday I did my usual, paid all of our
monthly expenses and hit my savings goals hard.
I am making progress in the savings department and that makes this girl
extremely happy. Mid month I was able to
make another large deposit into savings again and used my overtime pay to stock
up on groceries, catfood and some non food items.
Like last month I put a lot of thought and effort into my prepper pantry. I was able to finance it by using my gift card I received this past Christmas
from my employer and money I earned from working overtime. I made sure to pay the best possible price on
everything I purchased and was able to really make that money count. I always try to use those gift cards I get on
something important. I used the last
three on my home upgrade projects. This time I felt really good using my gift
card to invest in our prepper pantry.
I kept our regular grocery spending in check and under budget this month as we focused on
using up several things we already had in our pantry and freezer from last year. We want to make sure we are rotating our food
stock and keeping it as fresh as possible.
I also used some of my overtime pay from my mid month
paycheck to pay off the balance of my PayPal account so I know completely own my dehydrator and my vacuum sealer. No
interest was charged to me and I was able to neatly work it into my
budget. No muss, no fuss.
As I proceed into June I have big plans and a couple of
goals to complete. I'm excited about the
prospect of completing those goals too. Every
step I take is progress and progress leads me to accomplishing the goals I've
set for myself. Those completed goals
will make our life better and that makes all the hard work to get there worth
it all.
