@Mike Dang Was the $500 budgeted? And if so, how did the changes in spending along the way come into play?

On My Flight Booking Secret
@redheaded&crazy I had heard this same thing, and was obsessive about clearing my cache & cookies when trying to book tickets to Africa. No way to tell if it helped, but I felt better doing it.

On Who Needs Grocery Stores? (I Do)
I used to buy everything at Pathmark, but then realized I was eating processed junk all the time. Now I shop at 4/5 different stores because I'm just more particular about what I want and at what prices. Quinoa from Costco, TP from Target, fruit & vegetables from Whole Foods and special stuff from farmer's markets and health food stores.

On I Said No to Some Things And It Felt Great
I'm sorry, but "Central Park East" is not a thing. That would be 5th Avenue. But good job on the ATM fee, that is a fight I often lose.

On What'd You Spend On Your Bed? Like $200? Does That Sound Right?
Think about the time you spend on your bed and how important that time is. Then re-evaluate and spend as much as you possibly can on a mattress. It is just not an area where you want to cheap out, because sleeping on a bad mattress is terrible! Getting good sleep is important! That disclaimer done, I went to Macy's and spent a lot (1,200) on a firm mattress with a foam memory pillow top. (They put it in my bedroom and took the old one out!) It is wonderful and I sleep like a rock. If you can't get a good mattress, a good memory foam topper will help. A feather bed will also help, but will cost more for a good one. The whole mattress industry is suspect, every store has their own brands so you can't comparison shop by name, but you can narrow it down by the type a bit. Try Macy's, I have had good luck there, especially with sales!
