I had told myself not to spend any more money..
While I am unemployed, I am on government benefits. That means limited spending on things that aren't bills. I make a HUGE batch of a certain dish (this case, sauce for pasta), and then I take 4 scoops of each, and bag it. I then let it cool down and place them in the freezer.The last time I did that, I had meatballs for a month straight.
Anyway, I try to limit my spending as to not run out of money. Nothing worse than running out of money 5 days before payday, with nothing to eat.. I have avoided that every month by cooking a huge batch and freezing it. This month, it was going well. Until I remembered my family's annual Easter lunch. 15 people will partake in the feast, and we each have to bring an item of food. I am in charge of bringing the most important thing - bread. With the inflation hitting here, everything gets more expensive. From fuel to food. Thanks, Biden.. Anyway.. The price of bread has skyrocketed these past few weeks, so it gets expensive to buy bread for the entire family. I ended up with seven packs of bread, which took a sizeable amount of money. It HAS to be enough. If it isn't, there's a McDonald's right next to where we are having our Easter lunch. But generally, I am pretty good at judging how much bread I need to get in order to make sure everyone are well fed.
Will I spend more money before the end of the month? Well.. It depends.. I have enough food for two weeks, which makes it close.. I have a bunch of chicken wings in the freezer, as well as some one person meals. Even those one person meals have gone up in price. They are usually super cheap, but in these inflation times, everything is expensive.

The term came into use by the Banksters themselves. Hence I N F L A T I O N 1$ an
INCREASE in the money supply that bids up pricing
On account of the now diminished value of the
Currency in Total.
$um ballplayers are making over $20,000 per plate appearance - regardless of performance. Can you say inflated ego ? How about higher parking & ticket prices ?
Don't be fooled by that perfumed, non- Load bearing creature reporting network news. That animal is controlled outright by Banking interests.
For sum Time now, the Central Bank has taken a keen interest in population control ( read, reduction
And full Control of everything under the Sun...

Buckets are cheap and potting soil and a plant to each bucket is movable and can relocate.
Ukraine is an addition to switching off the world to try and switch it back on again. People want to spend like they've been stuck at home wanking and crying, but they've been stuck at home wanking and crying so there we are. Easy money backed by a bunch of wankers doesn't get very far.

Is it totally over for you now? That would be such a shame to now have wasted
all you learned........................
Though I am Filipino self employed business owner and tax payer.
Everybody should learn how to budget money.
The staggering price of essentials brought about by the pandemic is unbelievable.
Pork and beef in our country is expensive. If I have beef cutlets w/ bone in.
I make beef stock. Also rice porridge.
Pork prepared by me have TVP( Texturized Vegs. Protein).
Lakeside Pork is P124/ can in S&R. Fresh lean pork P180/halfkgs.
Mixed w/ tvp for tasty spring rolls, nuggets and picadillo.
Being semi vegetarian in the past year.
Lots of Tofu in stir fry, oyster sauce & sesame oil does the trick.
Food budget is not compromised.
Healthcare insurance here is expensive.
The money I save on food expenses goes in my:
Medical voucher(P800) and life insurance premium(P500,000/5yrs)
If I ran out of allowance . 3 options I have.
1. Pawn gold jewelry
2. Collect payment from people who owes me money
3. Withdraw from savings account.
I wish you good luck on your career and finances
