Spending Sunday #2

Grocery shopping this week was a bit disjointed, involving more stops than I typically like. However, it appears to have worked out.

Best boss ever gave me a $50 gift card to Whole Foods as part of my year end bonus. We utilized that this week for some of the pricier items on our budget (flaxseed oil and tahini). Anyway, here is the break down -

Whole Foods $4
Town & Country $36
Costco $23
Farmers Market $18

For a grand total of $81. This included stocking up on a few items; bread, peanut butter, rice, etc.

Very happy with that number, but again, it was greatly helped by the gift card, which was the plan all along.

Pet Spending was also well within budget at $60. Still on track for this to be well under budget for the month.

We did spend $18 on dining out, also as planned.

Gas was $66 for both vehicles and should get us through the week no problem.

Total weekly expenses: $225. Completely happy with this number. If all weeks could be this good!

Next week will incur some vet expenses, which I will distribute across multiple paychecks. We are going to have a pretty tragic Friday and I am not sure yet how that is going to effect our weekend as a whole. Hope to stay on-track as we finish out the month.
