   Wow! Just took a look at your Budget spreadsheet and it made me very thankful that we do not have very many bills! I should be spending way less on food and household items though, every time I look at it, I can figure out any where or way that I can save money! 🙁

     Melinda – this spreadsheet lists any possible areas I think someone might need to budget. It is more of an “idea” sheet so you don’t forget to budget for everything. We don’t fill in each of these each month. It just helps in fully planning! Hope that helps. 🙂

   Also, something that I would like help with is making a budget when you and your husband is on hourly and not salary and you both work varying hours each week. Ever budget plan I have seen has been for set salary budgets.

     Melinda – The key to budgeting is to write out all your expenses, and an estimated amount of money you have coming in. It will allow you to adjust the items you are budgeting for if you find your income in is way less than what you project to spend that month. This works for salary or hourly paychecks. You would just put your total in for what you expect to make on your hourly paycheck for the month. If you dont’ know for sure, it at least gives you a ball park of where it needs to be to cover your expenses. Hope that helps!

   the first link for the price list is not working, and I don’t have a smartphone for the other one. 🙁

     Hi Julie, I just adjusted the link. See if it works for you now!

   Kelly,
   Are you ever planning on making the Provisions app available on Android for those of us who don’t have iPhones? 🙁
