It seems that no matter how sincere I am about my intentions to not spend money, I still do. Most of it I can justify but not all of it. This past week so far I have spent $1082. $533 of that money was for bills and $152 was for items not necessary. The rest was for gas, food, the eye doctor, toiletries and household items. I was good on gas as I only put in $45 this week and it lasted the whole week. I did really well with grocery shopping. If you take other store ads to Walmart they honor the other stores sales. Well I brought the Albertsons ad and they had some BOGOS and for example they had Edy's icecream (large one) BOGO and Walmart sold two of them to me for $1.62 each! The not necessary was related to our pond we put in. I bought Tennessee flagstones for $45 and small river rock. Now I am kicking myself. I should not have spend that money because I really could not afford it considering my financial situation. It is pretty though.
Tonight I took another baby bird to the bird rehab lady. This one may have been trying to learn to fly and was on the ground when my cat saw it. I am proud of my cat as he could have eaten it but he hardly touched it. It was more scared than anything. Bird lovers will tell you that people should keep cats inside so they will not kill the birds but I don't think it's right to keep an animal inside all its life. Of course I take my chances because they can die while outside but my theory is that they at least had a happy fullfilling life being allowed to go outdoors ;0)
I need willpower!
