Car Savings : Right on track, hopefully after the move we can put more towards this each week.

Clothing : Its not exactly clothing, its a band I have to wear to cover my tattoo's at work (I make mine out of socks) I lost my last one, so I had to buy new socks to make a new one!

Eating out : Ouch, one morning I woke up to late to eat at home, so I ran through a local place for something quick before work. Then today Auston and I were running around doing errands, and decided we were starving, and our savings are right on track, so we splurged a little.

Gas : Can you believe it, I filled my tank! If you haven't noticed before, I usually only put $10.00 in at a time. Its hard when you live on tips, you don't know how much you are going to make the next day, so you don't want to waste it all in your gas tank. And yes - $27.00 does fill my 9 gallon tank.

Gift: I had Little M with me this week when we were shopping for cleaning supplies, and she wanted to get M and my stepmom Valentines day cards. So I let her choose from the $1.00 section.

Groceries : Well, a girls gotta eat! This was just a small trip though.

Health : Auston is on a lot of meds for his migranes, and today one of his prescriptions needed to be picked up.

Household Items : UGH, I didn't realize there was an inspection coming, so we spent a lot of money to make surewe could clean this place from top to bottom, and we needed some paint because the dog has scratched up a few doors. Lovely.

Overall: My spending was higher than I would have liked. But most of it was on items that couldn't wait. So I must be content with where we are.

How did your spending go this week?

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!
