So here is what I am thinking...

Ok so I have gone WAY over my budget for the month and still have about 85.00 worth of shopping to do tomorrow (lots of great deals on stuff we need). I also purchased the Angel Food boxes ($51) I talked about in an earlier post this week.

BUT...

I should have to do VERY VERY little shopping in February.

Here is the thing. In my line of work (merchandising) this is our SLOWWWW time. Read: Me no workie, me no makey money! And December/January is a HUGE time for us work wise so I was making double what I normally do. So part of my spending was in thinking ahead for February. The deals made it smart for me to buy now to save later. Make sense?

So although I will come in WAY over budget for January, I am hoping that by the end of February this has evened out a TON.

Mainly for February it will be fresh items (veges and fruit, mainly for the little one as she loves raw veges and fruit and I ENCOURAGE the heck out of that!), perishables like Milk and a few odds and ends. I will be doing Triples at HT but so far don't see a ton of stuff so that should be a small trip. And because I did Angel Food, that comes on 2-21 which will be the real money crunch time right before hubby gets paid again so that will be very handy!!!

I will be interested to see how it all works out.
