Total spent = $240.36 - I'll take it! A very low spend week for us. Yeah!!! I'm about to make a bunch of travel purchases, which will drive the cost way up for next week, so it's nice to have a low week on the books first. :-)
How about you? How did you do with your weekly spending?
So funny, I do that with hubby's cc too so I can figure out our monthly budget totals. I did ok this week for spending (or not spending as seems to be the theme of the day). Since I have paid for our tickets to Greece all non-necessary spending has come to a halt in an effort to save as much as possible towards that. So much easier when you have a cool goal (albeit 8 months away) to work towards.
ReplyDeleteSuper excited for you on the Greece trip! Definitely on my bucket list. And yes, much, much easier to work toward a goal when there is a fun event at the end. We impulsively decided to book a trip at the end of October (my parents were free to watch the kids, flights were cheap), so now i'm looking into a trip to Santa Barbara - excited & hopefully it will have the same impact on my spending. ;-)
DeleteYou did pretty well figuring it out. Someone would have gotten in trouble for the late fees at our house. ;p When our kids were little, I often thought that I was thinking for all of us.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the kind and uplifting words on my blog. It helped. I know I sounded bratty and spoiled but it is a train-wreck in the room and I didn't know how to fix it. Sleep helped immensely. We have a rough plan and are going to sell our junk bedroom furniture and buy something small for DJ's room. Or so I hope. Perhaps we will just drink mimosas like you suggested. Perhaps you should be our boss on the next project.
