DH had another commission payout. I also got a few hundred dollars in backpaid overtime - if you saw the big Kronos outage in Dec/Jan my workplace was caught up in that. I'm also expecting a few hundred in July from our Q1 bonus, you have to complete certain things each quarter so I did finish the first before my maternity leave.
Grocery/Eating out budget -
Grocery June: 16% OVER
Months under budget:
Eating Out May: 3% OVER
Months under budget:
June was better in paying attention to groceries overall, but we ended up moving our nebraska trip up 2 weeks to attend a funeral so we lost all of our produce and leftovers we were planning to eat, which was part of the groceries. We ate out more in June also, partly with the Nebraska trip, but this category still had a buffer from all of our months under. We also had TWO date nights haha of dinner/movie
Budget Meetings - minimum monthly
Months with meetings:
Still not doing well here
We ended up having family over her3 for the 4th and did steaks and chicken. So no plan to cook until at least tomorrow, which would be something minimal to keep using bbq leftovers
otherwise chugging along. I need to reschedule my grandpas visit for thus month since it was over the funeral time originally- it was one of my grandmas sisters who passed. My husband's brother may come from California at the end of the month - I hope so as his daughter is exactly one year older than ours, and I'd love for the cousins to meet! And we haven't seen them since last July. We're also planning on Nebraska again in August and Orlando in September. Usually I plan months out but am behind with the baby so need to start working on those!
