I think my personal challenge / getaway goal worked pretty well.
In my Everyday Expenses categories:
Groceries - $103.92
Medical - $40.64 (Allegra D)
Kari - $9.05 (food and litter)
Treats - 18.78
Movies Out - $5
Gifts - $39.50
SO much better than May!
I earned extra income in June:
$78.xx - parking garage job
$50 - PP GC from Swagbucks
$25 AGC from PerkPoints
$10 - AGC from Bing
$10 - Pact
Besides my usual ROTH contribution and my 10% to my EF, I had $313.06 left over! That means I have $156.03 to put towards my getaway in August. (The other half goes to my EF.)
In July I'm going to do the same thing, really try to keep my spending down as much as possible. There are a few things I know I'll have to spend on though:
new shoes!!
higher electricity bill than the past 5 months or so
possibly have to renew car registration?
I know I have at least one shift at the parking garage in July, and I might be able to manage $50 from Swagbucks again. I'm also going to put some more things up on eBay and FB ... see how that goes. I think $100 more should make for a nice trip.

Well done! I have found being intentional about my spending and acquiring has definitely reaped the rewards of being diligent and achieving small goals. And I've been quite deliberate in "economic choices" with the kids. Small treats here and there (when eliminated and opted for a food choice at home or bringing your own snack and beverage) add up which can be replaced by a family meal out.
Keep up the good work.
