Budgeting Bloggers: August

August Budget Breakdown

It’s the end of another month (can you believe it?!) so it’s time for another budget report. I’m proud to say I came in under budget again this month. But…I did get a couple things for my beach trip (a bathing suit, shorts, and coverup) that I didn’t include. Because I forgot. But let’s just call those one-offs. I’m not going to beat myself up about it because I got a little birthday money that I didn’t spend. Moral of the story is: let’s call it even. On to the deets:

My budget:

  • +$157 ($150 starting budget plus $7 not spent in July)
  • +$122 (blog income)
  • +$46 (sold old clothes)

            =$325

What I spent:

           =$318 (total retail value: $638)

What I received:

Budgeting Bloggers: July

July Budget Breakdown

Well, if there’s one bright side to spending all of July studying, it’s that it kept me from blowing my budget! I mean there was no point in buying a ton of new clothes when I was spending most of my time at home in sweats. But let’s not talk about the Bar anymore – IT’S OVER! Instead, let’s take a look back at the good part of July: the shopping.

My budget:

  • +$93 ($150 starting budget minus $57 overspent in June…whoops)
  • +$103 (blog income)
  • +$32 (sold old clothes)

            =$228

What I spent:

           =$221 (total retail value: $581 (I’m awesome))

What I received:

  • Rainbow pastel watercolor Moroccan tote bag courtesy of Redbubble
  • Jeff Koons for H&M balloon dog bag courtesy of H&M
  • I also won the orange suede sandals pictured above from Shoemint! Lucky me!
