So far so good. I haven't even been seriously tempted to buy anything new. It is however only January. Can I keep this up. I am going to try.
On another note Last month I stayed in budget for food. I took some advice from people here and removed most of the non-food expensives from the budget. My food cost 307.00 last month. This includes eating out. (I am only feeding me)
I know most of you do much better than that but for me this is an accomplishment I am aiming for 10.00 per day.

I've cut out about $2.50-$3.00 per day for breakfast at the drive thru down to about $4.00 a week for breakfasts. I'm having two slices of toast and a couple of slices of cheese for breakfast (and am setting up the coffee maker the night before so I wake up to the smell of fresh brewed coffee). Took me ages to make this change but I'm so enjoying it (1/2 hour with my coffee and 'puter in the am) and saving money.
Took me a while til I was able to do it though.. but I've done it for a month now and am loving it.
