I messed up by not correctly tallying my P&G items (italicized) so I was less than a dollar short to redeem my receipt for a $10 rebate. So, now I feel quite foolish, I am way over budget, and Hubby is less than thrilled with me buying extra stuff.
Total= 21.52
Over budget by 9.46.
** on a nice note, the clerk at the library renewed my lost library book one more time so hopefully I find it soon.**
Seeing all of my purchases laid out makes me realize how much I spend on convenience items and snacks. I could definitely have an easier time staying on budget if I just bought staples and pantry items. The problem is getting myself to want to do all of that extra scratch cooking. I like cooking- I just don't like cooking three times a day.

There is a time when you have to say enough is enough, not everyone can prepare 3 meals a day from scratch. It is okay to buy some snacks. Maybe your budget is 9 dollars over is not bad.
I just renew online from home! That works until someone else has requested the book and it won't let you renew again.
