Stealing a really good idea to review weekly what I have spent each day from my friend Carol at CT on a budget!
Here is what my week looked like:
Sunday: $0
Monday: $0 ( I spent the evening at the Casino with my gentleman friend and his brother and sisterinlaw but he insisted on picking up the tab not only for dinner but even for my slot machine play! What a guy!! So I came home with the money I was allowing myself for this treat still in my purse)
Tuesday: $45 for gas to fill my SUV, $6 for dog treats at Petco, $7.99 at Office Max for a 2013 dayplanner for my purse and a spiral notebook to use for inventory purposes at home.
Wednesday: $47.86 at craft store for baskets, lamp, and nightlite; $99.96 directly debited for DirectTV ( a definite indulgence but one my middle son pays for so I will be getting a deposit from him to cover this when he gets paid, my out of pocket on this will ultimately be $0)
Thursday : $0
Friday: $622 Mortgage; $524 car loan; $131 car insurance (both mine and middle son's since two teens don't drive yet.$67 homeowner's insurance, $110 natural gas bill (not bad since it covers heat, hot water, and stove)
Saturday: I plan on spending $7 for a gallon of organic milk at BJ's today. I prefer to pay the extra for organic for three reasons 1. No hormones or antibiotics 2. We use only a gallon a month these days on average since teens refuse to eat cold cereal or drink much milk so I can afford the extra for organic and 3. This milk lasts on average about forever. Seriously. I have to yet to have any go bad on me no matter how far past the date on it.
Total weekly expenditures before bill paying: $113.85
Total Bill paying expenditures:$1553.96
* Just a footnote to add that I never made it to BJs on Saturday and didn't spend the expected $7 for milk. My new expenditure total for the week excluding bill paying is now $ 99.85
