Holy crap we’re on week 50 49! That means only two three official weeks to go.
Not that I’ll stop budgeting or meal planning or couponing. So my question is: do you guys want me to keep going with P:FB-like posts? Let me know. 
Weeks 48 and 49 47 and 48 were a bit *ahem* hectic. The former was finals week and the latter was my break so I was home, spending far too much $ eating out and visiting friends and generally enjoying life. I’m guessing that I was on-budget for the month of August, at least with my food budget, if not with my extraneous spending. <–trying not to think about that!

Between an empty fridge, some deals that were too good to pass up, and the need for probiotics to help me recover from this weekend’s exploits ($16 on sale), it was a pricey week!

Well great job!!!
I for one would like to see you continue. I have one more month to go before I hit my official year of budgeting and I can’t stop now! Lol
I will probably post once a month after that just to keep up. I have found that its helpful having a reference as I’ve actually searched back through my posts to find out I purchased a particular item last.
Anyway. One more thing. I thought of you when I got a free sample pack of natures path cereal at whole foods the other day. Omg. I ate it as a snack and hmmm mmm that’s good. It’s a bit higher in sugar than I like, but I might grab a box as a new snack food.
Mmmm Nature’s Path! I still have so many boxes of granola bars…I shoudl totally do a giveaway!
Hey Emily’s blog says its week 49. You got 3 weeks to go!
