Its really BAD LIKE BAD!
I know, get my Finances in order and keep track of my spending...I am so BAD
I think I have a problem when I go Grocery Shopping, these last few weeks I have going over my Budget and buying things I don't need. I don't know why I do that. Am I worried I am going to run out of Food or what?
Anyway, after everything that goes through that is supposed to go through I am going to get back on track. REALLY WORRIED about going in the RED.
Sloppy with Finances

what helped me is going through the fridge/freezer/pantry to make a list of everything i have. there's more there than you'd think! i use that as a jumping off point on what i'm going to cook, and usually i find i have everything i need. then i make a list of 1) what other ingredients i need 2) things i buy every week (milk, cereal, OJ) 3) things that are on sale that i can stock up on without going over budget (canned beans and tomatoes are my biggies). if there's more on sale than i can afford to buy with grocery budget, i have to take it out of my own allowance (which i'm rarely willing to do!), and the house has to pay me back out of the next week's grocery money.

Don't let it get you down. Just keep at it and you will be able to stick to the list. Establishing a habit takes time. You can do it!

Now, if I can just find someone to give me a sponge bath every night, then I'd be all set.
