the same.

Lack of Posts

Sorry about the lack of posts but I am not feeling too thrifty
these days ! My entire family was in a wedding out of town
a few weeks ago and as you know that can get pretty expensive.
My daughter's birthday was yesterday and I have promised to
 take her to Dave and Buster (not frugal at all).  I also spent
way too much for her gifts. I bought way more than I needed to.

Money is just flying out the door lately ! I just wanted to
be honest and accountable for my spending.
Hopefully I will get back on track.
