I write down directions from Google maps on paper before I go, but they're not always accurate. I also look at satellite image view.

I strictly use my phone gps with no issues.

Removed my gel pedicure and haven't gotten my hair cut this month. Received some grocery coupons in the mail and hope to finish the month on budget. Non monthly expenses were furnace cleaning and repairs and vacation which included celebrating my parents' 60th anniversary, and Father's Day.

Next month's biggie will be quarterly real estate taxes. A customer at work from NH was saying his real estate taxes went up 20% this year and I heard on the radio utility prices there are going up 50% and the state may use its surplus to help with $100 off utilities, which as a one time payment is very small. It's giving me pause about moving there someday.

I think it would be more affordable down south, but my company isn't there yet for me to transfer.

Stopped on the way home from work and picked wild blueberries. I got a good amount and they are organic so I figure I saved as much as my gross hourly wage for the time I spent picking them and it was fun.
