Computer back up, yay. I'm going to back everything up. I usually backup any way but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
I estimated $60 at the salon and that's exactly what I spent. Saving about $30 by simply doing some things at home.
I decided to try a cosmetology school for a pedicure. It's $10 vs $20 not including a tip if I'd gone to a normal salon.
So I go to the school, walk in a thought this place doesn't look that great. Needless to say I sat in the pedi chair, and the young woman came out with a foot spa. I'm okay with the foot spa but the fact it wasn't clean (appeared not to be), through me for a loop. Then she came out with the pedi kit that didn't look clean as well. I'm thinking hmmmm. Finally what did it for me was the dirty towel she had. I took my feet out of the spa, grabbed my purse, gave her $2 for her troubles and left. I'd rather pay the $20 for a pedi than $10 and an infection.
So I ended up spending $24 on a pedi. I'll stick to the places I know of.

This was actually budgeted. I'm using the envelope system that Dave Ramsey discusses. I had funds left over from the previous zero balance budget I created. Once the money is gone out of the envelope, that's it, nothing else is spent. I have envelopes for things such as groceries, gas, cleaning supplies, and pocket money. 😀

And kudos to Lucky Robin for challenging you on it. She's been through it so she speaks from the heart.

I actually do not get my toes or nails done unless something comes up such as the wedding yesterday, so I panned for the expense. I really appreciate your honesty, and keeping me on the straight and narrow, that's one thing I appreciate about SA, it's not just me on this journey but those of you who hold me accountable as well 😀
MonkeyMomma, I'm actually reaching out to the cable company to cut costs.
