spend less than $100 a week

It’s very rare if I spend over $100 a week. I rarely go out to drink but my main thing is buying movies. I always wait until the price goes down.

This week…
2 movies – $10
Gas – $20
Oil change – $20
3 books – $15
Food – $25

Total – $90

to do this, starting today, jan. 25 – feb. 1

the weekend is always the hardest part. i have several invites for things to do… want to go out to the bar tonight, so planning on only spending $10 in drinks there, and making sure I am well liquored before hand.

other event is to see a friend in a play on Sunday night.. need to buy a $10 tix as well.

thankfully i’ve got lots of chicken breast in my freezer for dinners and such…

just want to make it until next Friday!!

This gets harder and harder when I find more things I would like on ebay. the shipping can add up if i don’t watch it. :-/

$40 project supplies off of e-bay. I need a cheaper place to find junk :-) ... shipping kills me!

$83 for the week.

$9 cough drops
$20 toiletries
$4 gym
$10 little old lady in line in front of me (she seemed a little confused & was shy on her groceries… i don’t even think she realized I paid for them)

total so far:
$43

Ever work for a strange, out of wack company? I do… raise promised, not delivered. Trying to save for my art studio, but still only getting by (especially after Christmas). Time to tighten the belt again…. and find a new job!!

I got some good weeks out of it, and I will want to do some more the start of next season… but for now.. with all the holidays it needs to go on the back burner.

$4 lunch yesterday
$20 gas
$14 emmisions test (YES it passed!!!)
$3 breakfast this morning (didn’t give myself enough time to make food & get to the testing facility… gotta buy lunch too)

Ok.. so i blew it last week. paying for the house liquor stock… and then my new Camera… although that was another goal i had been saving for. Can’t wait to get it!!!

Ok, so lets get back on track, x-mas is going to be hard.
$30 – present & shipping for the two camera dads!!!

$5 – cheese crackers & round ones with peanut butter….
OK i have a rant here, don’t mind the 5 bucks today, but i’m really pissed i have to go so far out of my way to get food for the little one, that don’t have partially hydroginated (however you spell that) crap in them. Why is so much of the kid friendly food crap??? And why can’t the few peanut butter companies that are healthy, do a little kid directed art work?? Ughhhh
Arghhhhh
