Jan through to March are usually tight months because of heavy spending. January is always catch up month after the holidays, and restocking a healthy pantry after the holiday pantry of sweets and junk food. February has birthdays and Valentines day (we don't celebrate, but I always get the kids a little something special), and March is another big birthday month and usually when I do my easter shopping. April is when things start to slow down and level out, a time when I can start setting a little aside for summer and finally pick up a "christmas gift" for myself (hubby and I always get a gif for ourselves after the holidays.... unfortunately April is usually the first chance we get to act on it.
