SEPTEMBER BUDGET 2012

SEPTEMBER BUDGET

Here is the monthly budget for September 2012.  Truth be told, I have not been serious on the budget thingy, but I am inspired to do better.  At least for this month.

There are some areas that can be cut back a bit, such as grocery.  Okay.. maybe only grocery can be cut back a bit.  At least I hope so.  Groceries are so expensive, that I am going to have to shop smarter.   Eating out could be another area to cut back on or eliminate... but we will see.  We just like to eat out once in a while.

I'm having a September Savings Challenge so my budget is pretty tight! $200/week to cover everything!

Carla, you do amazing things with your budget! I am sure you will fall under budget!

Our budget is pretty tight for September too. We really cut back on Home Improvement, groceries and eating out this month.

I will actually have an income this month, but we really incurred new debt this summer so I am going to really cut back to pay this off.

Hi Lena,
This month will be our challenge.... since we have been budgetless for so long ;)

Hi Kim
It is so hard to find areas to cut from in an already tight budget. Good Luck!

I don't actually budget per se but rather just keep control of what is happening when in hindsight. Our food budget, in my opinion, is out of control, but whenever I bring it up to The Wife she almost gets defensive about it.
