Homekeeping on Hazel Ave

My $25 thing

well seeing as how this is week one of the challenge and I start my weeks on Thursday to coincide with payday I'm  not sure I actually GOT a $25 allowance for the week.  We had to buy two kinds of cold medicine this week due to 4 of us being sick.  So IF I had a $25 allowance I spent right at $10 of it on medicine.  Other than that...I haven't spent any.  DH spent some at Lowe's this weekend to help with the bench making....sand paper and paint.  When I got ready to paint though the Lord laid my hand on an unopened quart of white paint.  Exactly what I needed for the bench!!!  So while I was in town yesterday my son returned it to Lowe's for me.  So that new bench for my friend only cost a few dollars.   I love to        re-purpose stuff. DH also had to spend more last night.  His brakes are making a horrible noise!  He got the stuff to repair them last night.  He took my van to work today ....noooo temptation for me to go spending while I'm afoot...hehehe  He'll fix his brakes tonight after work. 

I need to look at my menu / supply but I think with the exception of milk and MAYBE lunch meat...we're pretty set.

Sounds like you are meeting the challenge well. I need to do that myself. I spend way more than I need to.

That's wonderful you've been able to stick to your weekly spending limit you've set for yourself! Keep up the great job! :)
