Which is good because we spent more money on the house. Patience just doesn't seem like a virtue I possess. So instead of getting a reward when I finish my frugal month, I already have my reward and now need to simply do it. *sigh*
On a positive note, we found a much cheaper sink for the bathroom and we have everything for finishing off the kitchen. We spent the weekend getting the bathroom sink hooked up and now we have a sink that doesn't overhang the tub and the toilet. It also has storage space underneath so no more clutter.
We have the new countertop cut but not installed. That will probably be next weekend. We still haven't cleaned out the old apartment either. May need to talk to DH and see if we can take some days off so we can get that done. We are down to our final month with the apartment.
I received my water rebate for the HE washer and a rebate from my homeowner's for getting my car insurance with them which was very nice.
To start the frugal month out right I am going to see how many days in a row I can go without eating out. Even though eating out is allowed, we will save more if we keep it at a minimum.
Beginning my frugal month today.

February will be my first official month of resuming this budget thing. I'm glad there are only 28 days instead of 30 or 31 so I can see the fruits of my labor sooner and whether or not my planned budgeting process is really going to work.
Congrats on the new house!
