GOAL FOR JUNE

SO MY GOAL FOR JUNE IS TO NOT GO OUT TO EAT AT ALL.  WELL UNLESS OUR PARENTS TAKE US :).  I OPENED OUR BANK STATEMENT AND FIGURED UP HOW MUCH WE SPEND ON GRABBING SNACKS FOR THE KIDS OR ON BUYING BREAKFAST BEFORE CHURCH, OR GOING OUT WITH FRIENDS AFTER.  IT WAS RIDICULOUS ESPECIALLY SINCE I COOK ALMOST EVERY NIGHT.  WE HAVE ENOUGH FOOD IN OUR HOUSE TO FEED A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY AND YET WE GRAB SOMETHING FOR CONVINENCE.  THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER WAYS THAT I COULD SPEND THIS MONEY OR I COULD SAVE IT.  SO FOR THIS MONTH WE ARE GOING TO NOT GO OUT TO EAT...  AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP THIS UP WITHIN REASON.  THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THINGS THAT COME UP AND WE CAN MAKE EXCEPTIONS BUT I THINK IF WE GET IN THE GROOVE OF NOT EATING OUT FOR ONE MONTH THEN IT WILL BE EASIER LATER.  LOOKS LIKE MY CROCKPOT THAT I LOVE SO MUCH WILL BE GETTING A LOT MORE USE.  WELL I NEED TO FINISH MAKING MY MENU FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK SO GOODNIGHT.

  1. How funny! We committed to the same thing for this month. We had pizza last night and lots of desserts after! We have one more commitment on Thursday and we are only going to spend $5 we said then it's over! We are doing it for health reasons also. We all feel so unhealthy after eating out. Good luck!
