Weekly spending roundup (10/17/16-10/23/16)

Join me on my weekly (mostly) look back at our expenses. It was an expensive week, as we celebrated our wedding anniversary, and were traveling for a soccer tournament. The next few weeks contain more of the same & will include Christmas purchases, so we need to continue with our frugal efforts wherever possible.

    • $21.15 - Amazon car stuff (no idea, order from M)

    I think your week was not bad considering the stocking up, and the special night. We had the big Thursday night shop, and then the haunting hayride, hair cuts, a new sweatshirt, and lunch out (but with a gift card). We also got caught up on some back payments of offerings to church as we were awol a few weeks.My nephews sold us popcorn and wreaths from boy scouts. wow-I guess we spent a small fortune!

    Our last week ended up being a bit on the pricey side because we hosted some friends, and we're celebrating our anniversary a little early this year so this coming week will be a little on the high side as well, but I think it's balanced out by not buying anything except groceries!
