I know i went over budget this week, but without the convertor box purchase i'd of been just within. I have set a $100 weekly budget and done really good most of the weeks. Although i have to say I'm glad that i got the convertor box even though i've never received my coupon because when i went back later this week with a friend in the park to get her one, they were completely out and the attendant said the ware house was even out! yes, it's an expense i hated to have to purchase when in May i was to receive my coupon but in a few months i will be without cable and without one i want be able to get the local news/weather.
