here is the breakdown of my spending for the second week of October:
My Portion of Groceries: $37.00
Hay ride @ Weaver's Orchard: $4.00
My portion of the Comcast Bill: $33.56
My portion of the Electric Bill: $27.97
Restaurant Food: $32.64
Pumpkin & Gourds: $10.47
Halloween Party Supplies: $12.70
Housekeeping: $15.00
Go Daddy: $3.99
Powerball Tickets: $3.00
this week's total is $180.33 - much more reasonable than last week's $485.52. $180.33 is a number I can live with, not a number that sends me into fits. that being said, I am still really struggling with the difficulty of spending normally. keeping track of these expenditures instinctively makes me want to spend more. I think that in November I will do another money diary - but this time I will purposefully try to save money. that way I can find out where I can realistically save without it being a complete downer.
