I get a lot of deals, but just how much do I spend? For the month of October I'm going to try and keep track - AND, see if I can keep it all under $150. Think I can do it?

4 gave me some sugar:
Good idea! I might try this next month, but set my limit at $75 since I don't have a hubby :-)
Good luck! I really should do the same and keep a running total... but I'll admit it, I'm too chicken to add up what I spend! LOL
I think you can do it! I need to start doing this since I want to try the $800 a year for 2009 like Erin does at Jane4Girls!
of COURSE you can do it! :D
