August went by so quickly, it shocked me. Getting everything together for school, going to the lake a few more times before school started. Life was crazy/busy, but it was good.
August - $44.34 (ish) in un-budgeted expenses.
August 4th - $21.34 McDonalds breakfast for 5 little girls - Girls had a sleepover, and one of the girls that slept over rejected every single item that I suggested to her for breakfast. I asked her what she normally has, and she told me "McDonalds, because everything else hurts my tummy." Later, when I mentioned to her mother that we had McDonalds for breakfast, and I hope it was okay, she laughed and said that she drives through McDonalds more than she cooks. If this is true, it makes me sad.
I do not remember the date or exact amount, but I spent $23ish dollars on some new shoes for Thing1. Her flip flops and sandals were just fine, but suddenly none of her tennis shoes fit. Like, overnight they did not fit. 2 pairs of tennis shoes that I had not intended on buying for some more months.
Groceries for August - $152.99 I know, right????
We ate out of the freezer a lot in August. I finally kept to my word of trying to empty the chest freezer to make room for a half cow, a whole hog, or a deer. I have a friend whose neighbor hunts, and if I cover his expenses, and pay for the processing, I might very well get an entire deer's worth of meat in November. I definitely need to make room for that!
So, the SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) amount is $668 - $152.99 = $515.01 rollover for this month! BOOM! That's what I'm talking' bout! (sorry, just saw Despicable Me2)
My current month of rollover, added to the rollover amount from Jan-July is $1,076.43. Kid you not.
See for yourself: $515.01+$561.42 = $1076.43
Maybe it is time to really look at weaning the family off corporately harvested meats. Food for thought....
