Budget Update November/December

Food budget (groceries and eating out) was $350 for November and we came in at $434.50. Eek! That is very high! The chickens were an unexpected $50, but I guess I wasn't being careful enough the rest of the month. I'm sad. I'm going to put our December budget at $400 because we have some parties to go to and food to purchase for that.

Fuel budget was $75 and we went over on that too. :( We spent $86.50. We went to Milwaukee once the whole month, otherwise I'm sure we would have been under. Every single week was around $15 except for the week we went to Milwaukee was $27. Our average mpg was 19.4 which is better than last month, at least. Next month I'm setting it at $84 (average $21 per week) because we're going to Chicago, and probably Milwaukee at least once. I hope that's not too low again....
