Weekly spending wrap up - 10/10-10/16

Tracking my spending helps me understand where our money goes, and generally keeps us aware of things we can do differently going forward. (Not that we always take our own advice ;-)). M & I don't always share the same financial philosophy, but we are striving towards marital harmony, people! It was an expensive week as we start to add in things like Christmas gifts. Here's what we spent last week:

Monday - 10/10 - No spend day
Tuesday - 10/11 - No spend day
Wednesday - 10/12 - No spend day
Thursday - 10/13:

• $465 for the nanny (last two weeks worth of childcare)
• $34.61 - dinner out at Sweet Tomatoes, after a crazy late work day. 
• $21 - gift for a kids birthday party
• $54.29 - car wash stuff & flossers from Amazon
• $369.99 - suitcases for M & Nick
• $89.99 - an iPod for Sam (Christmas gift)

Friday - 10/14 - No spend day
Saturday - 10/15:

• $30.40 - Halloween costume for Nick + our contribution to the Halloween class party goodie bags

Sunday - 10/16

• $54.70 gas
• $23.27 - lunch for M & Sam. We were at Nick's soccer game in an absolute downpour. I think the two of them just wanted somewhere warm & dry to wait it out. ;-) 
• $113.88 - back to Costco for other things we needed. M made the 2nd trip. ;-)
• $50 - Nike gift card. I earned $8 of Rite Aid credit, and we typically buy the boys shoes at the Nike outlet after Christmas in Oregon. No tax!
• $5.99 - new windshield wipers from Costco

Total spent = $1532.23. That's it for us. How did you do with your weekly spending?
