April cash jars

Not a great month in the sinking fund front. We spent a good bit of a weekend cleaning out our basement, and had to get a lot of supplies for that. We had a few expensive grocery trips. I had a work outing. I had a friend obligaion in which I spent a lot of money. We got pizza once. My diet is causing us to cut back on the takeout, but I spent the rest of that money covering shortages in other areas. Lots of schlepping around this month, so I was desperate for gas. I am also doing most of the driving because my husband's tire is flat.

Jar~~~~Spent~~~~Left
Grocery~~388~~~~~~12
Supplies~~71~~~~~~~ -21
Misc~~~~40~~~~~~~~10
Takeout~~50~~~~~~~10
Gas~~~~~125~~~~~~~0

We had $10 left in the end. But I used that money to help cover one of the jars for May. So we ultimately had nothing left for the sinking fund. The upside is I am getting better at giving us just what we need. The downside is less for whatever we are saving it for.
