Spending Day #1

Published by dibocc at 11:19 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

Today was a non-standard day, so I ended up spending money on things I wouldn’t normally spend on, like lunch at a local sushi place. I was out and about all day, and by the time it was 3pm I was starving, so I ended up sitting down to lunch. I don’t do this often (maybe twice a month), but maybe there are other “irregular” expenses that come up and end up ruining my budget, so it will be good to see how I do.

This is the breakdown for today:

  • $10 – lunch and coffee
  • $7 – a few things at the supermarket
  • $10 – dog food (I buy good quality food; this is not an area I plan on saving money on)
  • $3 – transportation

Not a very bad day, but I ended spending $30 and have very little to show for it. If this is an indication of what I normally do, it’s not a good one.
