Target 1,000 - Spending Goal part 1

I was hesitant to post his blog since this will definitely show my "kuripot" personality. But who cares nobody knows me here personally. I write my blogs here at work during breaktime but not even my colleagues knows that I'm blogging.

But why am I posting this? I made a personal commitment last year to write down all the details of my expenses this 2014 so I can clearly monitor my spending routines.

So here's my monthly expenses that I regularly buy at Landmark supermarket both personal & family necessities.

MY PERSONAL HYGIENE EXPENSES - Here's what I bought this August:

Bathing Products:
2 Camay soaps (buy one take one @ 13.50 each) = P 27.00
(i'm a buy one take one addict)
1 dozen Rejoice 4 in 1 shampoo (4x12=48 pcs)    = P 54.40
This will be my stock for two months since I still have pantene shampoo & palmolive conditioner left.
Laundry Products: I wash my clothes every sunday & I enjoy doing it.
1 TIDE powder (4in1-1 sachet/week) = P 14.70

STOCK PRODUCTS:  
These are products I bought last month (some are inside my drawer & the other set I'm using today).

                

There goes my kuripot budget. I'm not particular with the name or brand of any product as long as it suits my needs and my budget, too. No make-up, no deodorant, no expensive perfume just plain & simple hygiene & personal necessities. I made a record file so I'll be able track down all the personal grocery items I bought every month. I was able to trim down my expenses from P397.65 down to P199.20 but I have no plans of cutting down on Vitamins.

Groceries for family we're also cut down from P965.00 last month to P778.00 this August.
Just the basics again as per special request -(canola oil,vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, coffee, oatmeal, coffeemate, sugar, , cranberry juice - for my mother, cotton balls,cotton buds & juices-for my father, bread, butter & dishwashing soap).My mother has set a no-buying rule for canned foods (sardines, tuna, corned beefs) since its not good for people with kidney problems & processed foods (hotdogs, tocinos etc) not good for me since I had an endemetriosis cysts. "Nakakainis ang dami bawal but what can I do "mother's knows best". Plus my mother also prefer buying fish, meat, vegetables & fruits on wet market.

Anyway, my Target spending goal is - P 1,000.00 worth of total expenses both personal & family hopefully by September I'll be able to achieve this for my #5 Goal -- " To live below my means ".





Happy Weekend!!!!!
