I’ve recently revised my monthly spending budget from $300/week to $225/week. Sticking to it has proved difficult so far.
May 2-15, 2011
Total = $541.96 ($270.98/week)
(Over)/Under = $(45.98)/week
Breakdown by Category:
$ 20.53 Groceries
161.12 Meals
75.39 Clothing & Accessories
133.20 Health & Beauty
99.87 Fuel
51.85 Other (gifts and parking)
Explanation for the spending above is pretty simple
- Total groceries of $21 vs. $161 in meals is self-explanatory. Complete fail on the part of my boyfriend and I. It all boils down to sheer laziness.
- Spending in all other categories were for gifts/events relating to bridal showers/ weddings/ babies of friends. This isn’t going to get any prettier this year. 1 wedding down, 4 more to go…
