Another fairly uneventful day. There was $3.50 in parking, but no shopping, so no savings. Ok…maybe there was a small spending event. But honest, it was an accident!! Don’t you just hate it when you accidentally go through the drive-through at Krispy Kreme? We haven’t had a treat like that in quite some time. Excuses, excuses. But the kids enjoyed it and so did my husband. Well, I did too.

I think part of staying on track with being frugal is to allow yourself a treat from time to time. Not necessarily a ridiculous extravagance, but if you can’t blow a few bucks every now and then, what are you being frugal for?

Knowing why you’re being frugal and saving helps to meet the goals you have. When you have clarity on why you are doing something, your success rate goes up. I’ve certainly found this to be true in my life.

Tomorrow will be a better day…no off-track spending. I’m going to do some meal planning to see just how far I can stretch that grocery budget while still enjoying mealtime.
