August! :whew:
I made it to August without spending any more money. So the budget numbers I posted on the 31st stand and the emergency fund will be increasing to slightly over $865 this month. :cheer: Now that it is August however, I need to go buy catfood and diet mountain dew 2-liters today… spending some of my precious grocery budget before I even go for my weekly shopping trip. We’ll see how well I manage to stay under budget this week with a ~$65 budget instead of a $75 one. Especially since I intend to stock up on the mountain dew if it is still on sale for $1/2-liter.
Well, stocking up should give me a weekly budget savings of $4 for every three I buy since they usually are $1.33 each and I buy 3 per week. So, we’ll see. I’ll tweak as necessary. And an overall savings of $1/week, not too bad. Every dollar does truly matter for the purpose of debt reduction. 
Now watch there only be one 2-liter for me to buy today now that I’ve psyched myself up for it. 
I’m off to check on my ING accounts and look at all the interest posted
