Savings and my challenge to myself

I didn't do great this week but I spend $129.72 and saved $45.88 so only about 26% but part of that was 2 $50 gas cards I got for $40 each. Also I bought stuff for my hubby's lunches which will save us there as well.

Next month I have given us a challenge. We are only going to spend $50 on lunches out (about once a week for the hubby), $30 on one take out meal for the family and only $300 for groceries for the month (about $25 per person per week).

This will save us about $400 a month just with that.

I am also going to cut my spending on the silly little things I buy and hopefully save another few hundred. I will let you know how it goes.
