I ended up having a pretty good month in May. In previous months I had found that I was so diligent about keeping my savings down that I started refraining from buying fresh produce. In May I was determined to buy more fruits and veggies. Included in my numbers below is the $15.00 I spent on picking fresh blueberries at a local blueberry farm. In June, I am going to be even more diligent about buying more fresh produce. I love fruits and veggies and if it means that I will bring my spending up to $150/mth, so be it 
How did you do this past month? Did you see any areas you wanted to improve? If you are not yet keeping track of your spending and saving, start now! It is impossible to really make changes in the future if you don’t know how you did in the past!
Spent: $79.32 Saved: $1,164.32 Saved: 93.6%Below is how I calculate % saved (Beware, there is probably an easier calculation, but my mind works like a spreadsheet which isn’t always the easiest to explain…)
Amount Spent + Amount Saved = Total Value of purchase
Amount Spent/Total Value = a decimal (we’ll call the decimal “A”)
Multiply A x 100 = % Spent of total items purchased
100 – % Spent = % Saved of total items purchased

Can I ask….where is the blueberry farm? My husband LOVES them.
Hi Teresa! The farm is called McCool’s Blueberry Farm in Hudson. I think they are on their last week of blueberries.
McCool’s is the best!! We’ve been going there for 4 years now as our Mother’s Day tradition!! Get on their mailing list for next year…they’ll let you know when they are open next year!!
How do you that that!?
Thanks so much! I just found them on Facebook and it looks like this weekend is still good. Fingers crossed!
