So yesterday I went running and I felt much better over all. Then I made myself some ricotta pasta,showered and packed since I am leaving to see BF tonight. I have a very tight budget this month. I am planning to not go over $100 in grocery and $20 in lunch take outs. I only have around $7 left over for my lunches. If I go over, then I will have to use my grocery money for my lunches as well. I am allotting $120 in general foods item.
So, here is my budget for flexible expenses:
Grocery: $100
Lunch: $20 ($6.48 remaining)
Household: $20 ($9.15 remaining)
Personal Care: $25 (I plucked my own eyebrows instead of getting it done at a salon to save money)
Misc: $50
Already it looks like I am going to have to spool over some money from my grocery budget to lunch money budget as I didn't bring my lunch today.
I also have $16 credit on one of my credit cards that I will perhaps use for something for my BF. Maybe a book that he's been wanting.

I know how you feel about the lunch money. Some adjustments are needed, ugh?
Let things fall into place and don't beat yourself so much.
Happy Birthday to your BF!

Packing lunch is hard and budgeting for the money you will spend out is something I need to get better at.
