Halfway Through the Month...So How's the Budget Doing?

We are officially halfway through September.....doesn't it seem like it's just flying??

I just went and added up my Food/Toiletries receipts for the month, as of Sept. 15th.  I've spent Out of Pocket a grand total of............

$122.50
 And that includes 2 receipts for WAGS for August that got forgotten in a bag.

If you recall, I gave myself a ridiculously low budget for Sept. of $250.
Plus, I am expecting almost $200 in Rebates before Sept. is over to count against what is spent OOP.
2 Weeks left to go and I'd say my Budget is in REAL GOOD shape!
Even if I succumb and go Full Out Deal Hounding grocery shopping I should be ok. ;-)

So, how are YOU doing with your Food Budget this month?

    Budget? Hmmm, I don't think I have a budget. I am trying to use up the food in my pantry and freezer before going to the store.

    What I want to know is where did you get that adorable iron pig? Is he a bank? Is he a doorstop? He is cute as hell!! :)

    LisaPie-that pig is a cast iron replica bank. I bought 'Oinker' from some catalog company back before the internet when I was 16, or at least I think I was 16. At any rate, it was a very VERY long time ago.lol He's one of the few things I still have from my youth.
