I’ve been doing pretty well in my budgeting endeavors! I only bought a few things over the last few weeks and my purchases were planned and I used a few coupons. Here’s what I bought:
Aveeno Daily Moisture Body Wash- $6.99 (after $2 coupon)
Crest Vivid White Toothpaste – $4.25 (after $.75 coupon)
Supergoop! Spf 30 Everyday Face and Body Moisturizer- $15
EOS Lemon spf 15 lip balm- $3.29
2 packs Venus Embrace Disposables- $9.87 for both (after buy one get one free coupon) *that’s $4.93 a pack!!*
1 gallon of Aloe Vera Juice- 7.99
Avocado Oil-6.99
Rosemary Oil- 5.99
Grand Total: $47.04 (after coupons, a gift card, and other discounts)
That’s still more than I would have liked to spend (that trip to GNC for those oils put me over the edge :/) but I’m getting better! This month, I plan to spend less than $25. But there are a few things that are going to make that VERY difficult for me.
- I have a $4 coupon for the Venus + Olay razor that expires at the end of the month
- Ulta is having a huge summer sale
- I’m getting dangerously low on my staple conditioners and aloe vera gel
Now, good sense would tell me to start with the things I “need” and work my way up from there, but my good sense often fails me when nail polish and hair crap are involved. Nevertheless, I’ll do my best. Pray for me.
