February's Expenditures

It looks like I spent just about $1,000 in January. We'll see if I can't do a bit better in February.

This last half of the month I was a very good girl, preparing foods from the pantry and freezer, and not purchasing any extras for the house. I did lose track of the grocery and espresso spending, so am tacking on another $100 to this month's totals to cover those. But I have still kept my spending for February to under $500. Now on to March.

January's Expenditures

As part of my New Year's Resolutions I am going to start keeping track of how much I spend on things. I do have some bad habits, like buying far too many Americanos. But I am thrifty in other areas. A girl has to have her priorities. I will be updating this post, as the month progresses.
