I did it! I recorded my spending for 2 weeks in a row. A miracle to be sure!!
My spending for the week totaled $356.25 Last week I spent $281.51. This week was $74.74 more. Off of the top of my head I remember that we bought CDs and CD cases. That was about $40, right there. Also we made a trip to Jungle Jim’s International Market. It is about a 45 minute drive from here, but my 2nd son, M, needs the time driving. I normally wouldn’t count a trip like this because it is more like a field trip/fun time, but I did buy some actual groceries and food for our dinner that night, so I counted it. That was $76.47. Ouch. It’s a good thing we don’t do that trip very often 🙂
Mostly it was just a normal week of spending. Nothing glamorous.
Here’s to another week of keeping track of my expenses.
How about you. What did you do to save money this week?

I’ve been on a no/low spend challenge so I have been keeping my hands out of my wallet. It’s great as it makes for less tracking!! LOL
True! I’m trying to track the spending so that I have an idea of how much of the money is going. Then I hope to cut the spending! Good Luck!
That is a very smart thing to do. Can’t reduce if you don’t know where it’s going in the first place.
