Weekly spending wrap up (11/2-11/8/15)

This was an expensive week, with two out of town soccer tournaments, in two different cities, both requiring overnight hotel stays, separate meals out, etc. The tournament only happens once per year (but, two kids :-)), luckily!

Here's what we spent last week:


  • Monday, 11/2 - No spend day
  • Tuesday, 11/3 - $53.37 - gas
  • Wednesday, 11/4 - No spend day
  • Thursday, 11/5 - No spend day
  • Friday, 11/6 - $318 - camp over Thanksgiving break for the kids (3 days, school is out but I have to work)
  • Saturday, 11/7:
    • $5 - tournament parking
    • $93.50 - M's hotel 
    • $133.75 - My hotel (different cities, not that we generally don't like each other & don't want to share a room :)) 
    • $18.12 - Chipotle 
    • $8.85 - Starbucks 
    • $10.78 - pizza
  • Sunday, 11/8:
    • $5 - tournament parking
    • $86.40 - tournament souvenir (hoodies). We rarely buy the kids souvenirs, but this one was important to them. 
    • $56.31 - lunch out. This was actually for four people, as my friend paid for lunch on Saturday, & I covered Sunday. 
    • $156.13 - M stopped & picked up groceries on his way home, thank goodness. He bought the basics - milk, eggs, fresh fruit, vegetables, bread, chicken & ground beef.
Total spend for the week = $945.21. Ouch! My goal is to be below $350 this week!! How about you? Do you track your spending?

  1. Well there will be a bit of grocery spending this week and 1 dinner out(using a free gift cert.). I don't need any gas for the car and there will be no other spending(at least on my part, Hubs spending will be gas, lunch $ and anything else he wants to buy....I don't even go there anymore! lol)

    1. As long as you guys are meeting your goals (which you clearly are), I think it's fine to have that type of spending flexibility for someone who is not quite as "detailed" as we are. ;-) Plus, happy marriage & all that!
