14 Sep 09 – Weekly Expenditure Adventure: Week 5
A month into my experiment in spending less! Let's see what this week totals:
| Saturday | $0.00 | ||||
| Sunday | $5.50 | Snacks | |||
| Monday | $114.23 | Candles, bird seed, plant bulbs, groceries | |||
| Tuesday | $17.42 | More groceries, cookies | |||
| Wednesday | $3.47 | Milk | |||
| Thursday | $10.07 | Dinner | |||
| Friday | $0.00 | ||||
| Total | $150.69 |
To be fair, I was at a wedding last weekend, so I didn't have to spend any money there.
What I find most interesting here is the large amount of money I spent on Monday, just on a $15 candle, $44 of groceries, and $53 at Home Depot. Without those, I would have spent practically nothing this week.
I'm also surprised that, for me, a day without spending money is rare.
5 Sep 09 – Weekly Expenditure Adventure: Week 4
Here's what I spent on various expenditures this week:
| Saturday | $26.72 | Tea, flower bulbs, lunch | |||
| Sunday | $10.00 | Lunch | |||
| Monday | $0.00 | ||||
| Tuesday | $22.05 | Movie ticket, food | |||
| Wednesday | $12.01 | Dinner | |||
| Thursday | $46.89 | Gas | |||
| Friday | $26.00 | Lunch and checking a bag | |||
| Total | $143.67 |
Excellent! Much less than the previous week, even with the huge gas fill-up on Thursday.
