Spending Day #2

Published by dibocc at 12:35 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

As I was heading out the door today, I kept thinking that I needed to buy a few things I don’t buy too often (shampoo, liquid soap) and how that would affect my weekly budget. Then I realized that I probably always need something –If it’s not shampoo, it’s conditioner or makeup or cat food or … something! If that’s the case, then these 7 days will be an indication of more than just how much I spend but also of how badly organized I am that I need to go shopping every day!

Anyway, here are today’s expenses:

  • Food (just some cheese I needed) - $3
  • Beauty (well, shampoo qualifies as beauty, right?) - $12
  • Skype (I use it for long distance calls; WAY cheaper than a regular phone and quality is perfect) - $5 added to my account, which should last me a while

Doesn’t look bad so far, but I need to take my cat to the vet tomorrow, so this is really going to mess up my budget. Seems like there’s always something coming up, right?
