Weekly spending report (8/22-8/28)

It was a week with a lot of unusual expenses, as I was out of town with my own unusual travel expenses, and M was left with the kids. That typically means more expenses generally, and definitely more eating out. ;-) Here's the damage.


  • Monday - 8/22 - Gas, $21.85
  • Tuesday - 8/23 - No spend day
  • Wednesday - 8/24 - No spend day
  • Thursday - 8/25:
    • Uber - $9.51 (using 50% off promocode) for ride to airport. Awesome deal.
    • Salad for lunch at airport - $9.73
    • Upgraded to first class - free! :-) 
    • Sweet Tomatoes - $26.50 (M & the kids)
  • Friday - 8/26 - Subway for myself & BFF (I was supposed to buy ice & water for our cooler & forgot my credit card, so treated to lunch instead) - $11.25
  • Saturday - 8/27:
    • Hair cuts for all of the boys - $27
    • Home Depot, car glass cleaner - $3.85
    • Hoodie at Costco for M - $21.74
    • Three pair of new shoes for the kids (one is soccer cleats) - $143.47 :-(
    • Gelato for our family party after the relay - $9.78
    • Costco - groceries - $138.85
  • Sunday - 8/28:
    • In & Out for M + 3 kids (bonus soccer carpooler) - $11.96
    • Gas - $46.27 
    • Lunch out with my sister (my treat for being the captain of our relay team and spending endless hours organizing everything) - $41.35
    • Upgraded to first class again - free! :-) So happy & lucky, given I was so sore. It was a huge treat!
    • +$140 cash that I brought back from my relay



    Total spent for the week = $383.04, so about what I was expecting (minus the shoes) this week. How about you? How did your spending go for the week?

    1. Sounds like cleats are the most expensive item! Tell your boys their feet are not to grow anymore :)

      1. Shoes are definitely are big "clothing" spending outlier. Almost everything else you can find on clearance or at Costco. Shoes are one of those mysterious things that you can't really stock up on. And yes, cleats! Plus, we need both indoor & outdoor, for two kids. It's a fortune. Luckily they each only play one sport. ;-)
