It's time for the 2nd Annual February Spending Freeze

Time has flown, like money leaving my bank account, and it is time again for the February spending freeze.  This will be our 2nd year doing this, to read about how we did last year, go here.
Last year my goal was to spend $100 for anything that was not a monthly bill (gas, food, shopping etc)  We blew that number out of the water and ended up spending $257.16.
Some things we learned?
Gas is a gold digging girlfriend you can't get rid of, you hate her, you need her, she will take you for a ride and leave you.
Going out to eat is like getting drunk, feels great at the time, but it is expensive and leaves you feeling bad afterwords.

So with that knowledge in hand I have created our goal for this year (and I would love it if you would share your goals in the comments!)

Gas $115 ( we spent $93.40 last Feb, but hub was unemployed and I have one more kid in school this year)
Groceries $120 (we spent $104.26 last year, I upped the budget this year bc the boys are eating a TON lately..  can we say growth spurts?!)
Gifts or eating out $50 - I know we have at least 1 birthday this month, possible hospital time for my oldest, and we haven't been out to eat in over 3 weeks, so I am not sure I can make it the whole month w/o a night off.
so the total out of pocket budget this month is $285!

Just like last year, I will update every day or 2 where we are at, and where some of the great deals are.  I would LOVE LOVE love it if your would let me know if you plan on doing something similar!
