Animals - I had to buy dog&Cat food this week! I also had to buy their vitamins (Yes, my animals do get vitamins). I decided to go with the monster sized cat food bag this month (because Austons mom is watching them for us and we dont want her to run out!) so the bill was a little higher than usual, but in the end it will pay off.

Eating Out - Auston and I grabbed bagles before volunteering this week. We weren't going to, but we were late and needed our fuel. We did however save a little money by bringing drinks from the house. That way we wouldn't be tempted to buy coffee or Orange juice.

Fixed Bills - We have to go to the laundry mat to do our clothes. Its awful, and boring, and I really wish that place would get wi-fi.

Groceries - We did our second big trip of the month. And I am really pleased with the outcome.


This brings my monthly Spending total to : $839.48
Not bad?!

Weekly Spending Up-date

If it hadn't been for all of our gift supplies, this would have been a great week! I'm not upset about the amount spent on gifts. I think each person deserved a little something, and I love giving back to those closest to us.

 I wish I hadn't eaten at work this week, but even so, Auston and I still only "ate out" Twice this week. Which is the goal in the new year.

I know you are probably eyeing that late fee down there. I debated whether to put it there or not, it is quite embarassing when you don't get things paid on time, but sometimes that is just the way life goes - especially during the holidays. January will probably bear the same results.

Only $15.00 in gas this week! Not bad eh? I know, I'm impressed too, a lot of it has to do with us mapping our trips out, so we aren't turning around, and going back and fourth, we try and get as much done in one trip as possible. It helps that work is only a couple of miles away.

$5.00 more into the New car fund! every little bit helps right? on top of the $5.00 added every week,
Auston and I also throw any loose pennys in there - Silver change goes into the sealed pot.

What I was most impressed by this week was our grocery bill! I guess we spent enough on those last week, because we have hardly had to go out at all this week.
