Yard Sale Finds!

My Mommy and I went to some yard sales on Saturday morning, and I found this beautiful picture frame. And at the awesome frugal price of just $2!!! It is going to look wonderful in the living room with our wedding photos in it!

Weekly Spending Totals 05/30-06/05

This week's spending did not go as planned. We definitely spent more than I wanted to, however, the spending DID include a number of things that we needed for our vacation, like rope and steaks! So that does make me feel a little better. However, I still vow to do better this week!
Here's how it looks:

Food - $18.38
Health & Beauty - $10.24
Household - $26.71
Total: $55.33

I think that if I can stay out of Target, the Dollar Store and Big Lots, I think that this week should look a LOT better, or at least I hope so :-)
