A New Week

October 22nd, 2012 at 12:25 pm

So I don't have *too* much in the way of news or updates. The month is coming to a close, and it's amazing to think of how fast it's gone by. This past week was a whirlwind, and the weekend seemed just as busy. Had a wedding I went to with the BF Saturday night. Yesterday I was just exhausted from running around all week, being out of town, etc. I had a midterm I really needed to get done, but I woke up early this morning to get it finished. I currently have one question to go (needed a break).

I'm still way under budget. I'm now just slightly over my food budget, but I got quite a bit at ALDI this week. They had all of these fancy italian sauces and pastas. I stocked up. Cooked dinner for me, BF, and his roomate. Have leftovers of that and Friday's meal for the next couple of days. I'll cook tomorrow, and have a bunch of soup to bring for lunches at work. Will not be grocery shopping til November.

I'm way under on my entertainment and car allowances. Turns out I've only spent $20 on gas so far this month. Really shows how much I save by taking public transit all the time, particularly because I get to for free! Granted, November will include repairs and an oil change... so I'm sure I'll more than make up for it. I do have $130 tucked away in my savings account for those, and I'll incorporate more into the budget to get that taken care of.

I'm really excited for the last day of the month so I can throw some money toward this student debt. It'll be interesting to see if I can reach my goal for the first of the year. I want to start working toward it. heh.

Halloween is coming up this weekend, and I have no clue what I'm doing or what I'm dressing up as. I'm usually all over this holiday, as it's my favorite, but I've just been so busy lately that I haven't had the time to put anything together. Part of me is sad about this, but I'm sure I'll figure something out last minute.

At any rate, break time is over. Time to finish this exam! Hope you all have a lovely day!

    You have excellent news for October. Kudos to you being under budget in several categories this month. You are using public transit without appearing to resent the extra effort. You're grocery shopping and making meals at home for you BF and even his room mate. I hope the room mate reciprocates by buying some food or beverage, the polite thing to do. When things are less hectic, I suggest you try to make your own sauces since they will surprise you as really simple and fun to make. Tons of ideas on ivillage or simple cooking on-line sites.
