I went $6 over this week. The Wednesday Santa Monica farmer's market put us over. I needed more tomatoes, but also bought baby bok choi, broccoli, sunflower sprouts, cilantro and spinach. I had $3 left over from my Sunday shopping trip and spent $9 on Wednesday. This leads me to believe, as this is the third week in a row, that we should probably up our budget to $225 per month. Or about $56.25 each week.
The baby bok choi, broccoli, cilantro, spinach, sprouts and tomatoes went into a stew, salad and stir fry. Not all together, but my latest haul did find their way into those dishes.
In financial news, the purse tightening has allowed me to get caught up on my car payment, insurance, the electric and gas utilities, my cell phone. I wasn't drastically behind, but the extra money I've saved has allowed me to catch up in one month's time. I hope subsequent months will allow me to make big strides towards completely paying off my debt.
For the first month I think we've done pretty good. Eaten well and healthily, whilst paying my bills on time.
