We only ate out twice again, now that we are putting forth a conscious effort, that part of our spending has been going much smoother. And I am proud! We wouldn't have gotten the pizza either, but it was such a good deal because of our coupon!

No groceries this week - Which isn't a good thing, we REALLY need to go shopping, we are currently down to buttery noodles. Oh Boy.
Hopefully work will bear a little grocery money this week.

The misc. Convienence store purchase was a water and a coffee for Auston and I on Christmas eve, we only stopped because we were on our way to the park with my younger sister and it was a bit chilly out! And we were both running low on fuel.

Personal Spending was a bit high this week, but thats only normal the week after Christmas, while we did save most of the money given to us, we decided to splurge a little bit on a few things for ourselves.
All good things in moderation!

All in all, I think only spending $95.28 this week is a huge success, and a wonderful way to end 2011!

All good things in moderation is correct. So happy you left a comment on my blog, now I have found another awesome blog.

Going to try and read through some of your older post to get to know you better and I look forward to reading all your stuff in the future.

Maybe I can get a sneak peak of that book you are writing :)

being aware of what you spend your money on is the difference between reaching your goals or just dreaming about them. But it is also important to allow your self some simple pleasures with out any guilt. You have done that but making an imformed choice to spend so first you truly enjoyed it and second you did not sabotarge your goal. Nice work
