April Budget

I'm starting the April budget. Hopefully I'll be able to stay on track and actually finish it this month.

I'm thinking I might actually be able to end up under budget this month. My pantry is full to the gills and I am thinking it is time to start using up some of the things that are in there. I'm kind of hoping there aren't that many good sales this month cause I don't have much space to put them.

Also this month I am going to track and post how much I spend on extra coupons. I don't usually order many extras, but I thought it might be good to keep track of how much money is going into that and might be interesting for all of you to see when and where to get extra coupons.
