It's not very often that your budget goes up during the month instead of down. It's a good feeling. I was a little upset I had spent so much on the $30/$15 deal last week and wondering why my math had been off my so much. I knew that I had adjusted and added a few things during my trips, but I had planned to only spend about $25/$35. The $58.xx that I thought I had spent was way more thing I was thinking, but still would have been a good deal. Now I feel better knowing that I was off by $15.
