PAYING OFF DEBT - JUNE UPDATE


Begining Debt Balance - $7,129.65

CVS Totals - 2 Trips
I started the month out with $4.31 in gift cards and $10.00 ECBs.
Total Items Purchased - $ 44.60
Total Saved wit Coupons & ECBs - $24.96
Total OOP - $19.64
I ended the month with $4.31 in gift cards (I keep forgetting to use this) and $11 in ECBs.

Walgreens Totals - 2 Trips
Items Purchased - $ 47.68
Total Saved with Coupons, Credits and Gift Card - $ 34.02
Total OOP - $ 2.22

Total Spent on Gas - $ 140.00 - That's $335.14 less than last month. WOW! My husband received a promotion at the beginning of the month. His promotion included a company vehicle, company cell phone, credit card, and of course an increase in salary.

Total Spent on Groceries - $ 183.01 - Average of $ 45.75 per week, 121.50 less than last month.

Total Spent on Eating Out - $ 282.91 - $60.94 less than last month. The answer I have to explain our total for eating out is ......... Convenience!!

In summary, I spent $517.48 less this month than last. I am very proud with my totals and I am continue to working hard on paying off our debit. I wish I could have used that extra money toward paying off our debt but of course we had some unexpected car repairs this month.

You did awesome. It's great that you saved that money even if you did have to use it for car repairs.
