Weekly Spending Report (1/9/12-1/15/12)

Whew, where did last week go? My sister & I took our kids to a water park (delayed birthday celebration for my nephew, who broke his collarbone & couldn't go in December), schools were closed for MLK Day, we took the kids skiing, we had a snow day, the list goes on. :-) We're expected to get more snow tonight, but the weather forecast has been pretty off so far. We shall see.

Anyway, here's the spending recap for last week.

  • Monday (1/9)
    • No spend day. Hurrah! :-)
  • Tuesday (1/10)
    • $73.48 - groceries at Costco
    • $42.73 - tax preparation software
  • Wednesday (1/11)
    • $326 - two tuition credits for the kids
    • $44.65 - birthday gifts for my youngest at Toys R Us. I picked up gifts for my mom, so I'll be getting reimbursed for part of this.
    • $6 - lunch at Nordstrom Cafe. This was for the tip - we had a gift card for the rest.
    • -$194.91 - M returned his jeans he bought last week, because he found a similar pair for much less.
    • $97.35 - M's "sale" jeans. ;-)
    • $9.71 - car wash, after taking the car on the mountain roads for skiing.
  • Thursday (1/12)
    • -$45.96 - Returned a coat to Lands End that doesn't fit my son.
  • Friday (1/13)
    • $15.60 - Quiznos for lunch, on the way to the water park.
  • Saturday (1/14)
    • $65.54 - Gas
    • $15 - lunch at McDonalds on the way home from the water park.
    • $128.03 - remaining charges for the water park. Includes room tax, dinner on Friday night, breakfast on Saturday, etc.
  • Sunday (1/15)
    • Child care, massage, & lunch at the gym. All on a gift card.
Total spend = $583.02. Wow! Considering that $326 of that was for tuition credits for the kids, that's a huge improvement for me. :-) How did your spending go last week?
