September Money Goals

[travelbug]

Since its the last day of August (crazyyyy) lets do Sept $$$ goals  

It was fun looking back. I need to actually write these down at home too so I can stay focused! 

[travelbug]

1) Figure out new budget with promotion (still TBD on what I'll be making)
2) Figure out 2 day trip budget to the apple orchard/other fun stuff hopefully end of September.
3) From last time continue to save $$ and meal plan and snack prep!

-Bring lunch at least 4/5 days a week.
-Plan meals each week.
-Make an extra payment or two towards my medical bills.

1. Food and dining to less than $500.
2. Actually save money this month.

1: Food and Dining $850 (I know this is still a lot, but last month we spent $1000 so I'm trying to baby step it down).
2: No clothing purchases for anyone. Talking mostly to myself... (9/1 eta: I sorted the kid's clothes today and did inventory. M has no jeans at all, and also grew out of his main shoes, so I am allowed to by those items.)
3: Download Cartwheel app again and use if anything applies to my lists
4: Use full charitable contributions line item ON donations.

1. Groceries at or below August's spending
2. Cut dining out by 10% vs. August
3. Focus on mindful spending
4. Start saving for Xmas and a new pair of glasses for me

-keep eating out to under $200

-keep groceries to under $400

-make list of stuff we need for baby (and look up costs for things)

Just realized I didn't make any.

I'm going with a simple one: stay within our living budget and not have to tap into slush fund
