This month I spent most of my budget on basics! Nothing too exciting, but I did get some pretty good deals and replaced some items that I needed. I kept track of everything, but most of this month came out of a $100 gift card I won last month and my Christmas money.
Not everything is pictured above, but here is the breakdown:
My monthly goal out of our normal budget is $50. Since all but about $12 came out of gift money, I am pleased with this month's total.
I have a "wardrobe wish list" that has items I am looking for to fill in gaps in my wardrobe. I am thinking I may take a portion of each month's clothing budget to purchase one item per month to try and fill in the gaps. Hopefully, next week, I'll post Part 1 of the wish list!
