Today is Thursday, the end of my weekly budget week. Here is how I have done within the last week:
Weekly allowance spending (transportation, grocery, breakfasts, eating out etc.): $62 (which is pretty awesome…)
Fun funds collected this week: $120 – $62 = $58
Fun funds left/accumulated so far: $94
Extra expenses: $65 (medication and donations)
Savings from would-be-expenses (expenses I was tempted to do but did not do, or the discounts I utilized): $145
Overall, feeling good 🙂
This budget really works for me, yet I should be eating better. I must aim for buying more grocery/food and cooking healthy meal at home. That is important. In the last 2 months or so, I am not cooking at all and the food I consume is usually not veggie-based. This cannot be too good. So time to eat better! 🙂
Hey, one step at a time right? At least you’re spending even LESS than your budget! That’s awesome 🙂 Step 2 can be cooking more at home lol

it is very expensive here as the majority of the grocer and food come from other provinces. The only reasons that my allowance expenses are low are because a) I do not eat a variety of veggies for sometime now (which are really expensive), and b) I have “other expenses” category for anything from cleaning products to gifts/donations. But nevertheless it is good that I am not over-spending and keeping the money as much as possible 🙂
