Nervous.......

I am getting very nervous now. I thought my husbands first check would come through direct deposit, but he said it would come in the mail. I was looking forward to seeing how much taxes were being taken out, and what the actual take home pay was. Now I have to wait for the mail to come.

I am good on food. I stocked up on a whole month of meats, pasta, rice, and canned veggies. All I need to purchase this month is milk, eggs, and fruit. My food budget is $200 a month ($50 a week). It can be done, it just takes effort and lots of cooking from scratch.

I will have to start making things and selling them on Etsy again. I will also have to start CVSing again. This is a great way to get your bath and kitchen products for pennies on the dollar.

I want to encourage you to look at your budget and see if there any ways to scale back or even cut out completely. We have not had cable for about a year, and it has made a huge difference in our budget. And to be honest, we don't even miss it any more!

Happy Saving!
