This week’s $50 budget went a little over. Thankfully, I had some surplus from previous weeks. We also splurged on some birthday steaks this week. The steaks came out of the birthday budget, rather than my weekly budget. The carrot cake and trimmings came out of the weekly budget. We sneak in a special meal that way about 4 times a year.
