Not going to lie - it does bug me a bit that I didn't notice the extra $.24 in time to round up a payment. We cleared out the smallest credit card so now we are down to five debts instead of six. Keeping my fingers crossed that we can knock out one more this month, but it might have to wait until February. We did a rough calculation on our taxes and we could end up owing a significant amount due to the fact that DH actually made money last year (YAY!). Definitely a good problem to have :) But it means we have to hold some money in savings instead of knocking out debt.
I went last night and purchased all of the food for our meal plan, plus breakfast and lunch foods. The total was $120 for two weeks which didn't seem bad at all considering we got food for 3.5 people (babysitter is here 2 days a week). Now that we have meals planned and lots of fresh veggies and meat that need to be used before they go bad, hopefully the temptation to go out to eat won't be as strong.
