A Quick Update:
It's going .. well, it's going okay. I met my best friend for coffee last Thursday (spent money at Starbucks) but it was worth it. I also bought a new bed sheet from the Thrift store, as the cat ripped our other one. Yes, we only have 1 set of bed sheets. And I bought them used, so it is okay.
I went grocery shopping this past weekend and was able to stay to my list, and then the second store I only bought the items I had coupons for. I made sure to create a dinner plan with easy meals for the week so there was no fast food nights.
I've struggled a bit with making sure to have all of my food planned for the week - one morning I was running late and could have stopped by the store to grab an oatmeal to go - instead I threw some oatmeal and PB2 in a container and heated it at work.
I am on budget and it feels good. I am able to pay off my credit cards and put money towards savings. I am keeping myself busy at work and also at the gym, so I am not thinking about Happy Hour, coffee runs, etc.
I will try to have a break down on what I have spent by the end of the month.
