Need to buckle down this month

November 2nd, 2008 at 07:59 pm

Right now its looking like we'll probably be about $750 in the red this month

We had to go out and buy new locks for the house. We never changed them when we bought the house last summer, and finally the garage door lock was no longer functioning. We went to Home Depot and we even bought the cheaper ones than what we wanted, but just for the downstairs (we'll buy the upstairs ones when we get additional money) was $428. I had a $25 Home Depot gift card so we only paid $403

Then we bought 3 pairs of jeans for the kids, 3 outfits for the baby, and a jacket for her at Target for $72

So it'll be tight this month. We have enough groceries for another week and a half so maybe I can cut some more there.

Also, if we get that money back from DH's old tax refund that should help out this month.

Good thing we have an EF but I hope we can get to a point where I'm not constantly dipping into it and then refunding it.

At least we aren't using credit cards, so that is good but still there is room for improvement.
