This weekend we ate out a bit too much.
Quiznos $19.00 (got the 2/$5 special and used a coupon for 1 sandwich)
Arby's $16.00 (no coupon)
Then we did a grocery run between Dollar General and Kroger.
DG $47.50
Kroger $69.00
Total $151.50 spending
I used a couple of coupons at both places. These totals include HBA items and some pet items.
I can't wait until I have a bigger stockpile of coupons. I just didn't have enough coupons to use for what I bought and some things I had to get store brand stuff due to the price. I went $9 over my grocery budget.
For other spending, both dh and ds got haircuts today. One thing I was concerned about was the new cost of haircuts at our new place. We've been going to a barber for $8 a haircut. We had coupons for Great Clips - $9.99 cut and a $6.99 cut. Dh also tipped, so he spend $20 on 2 haircuts. So now I just need a coupon for my haircut because I don't want to spend $15 on a cut when I have such short hair.
My totals so far:
Nov 09 $296.22
YTD $296.22
I have overspent already in my first month as I don't want to average more than $75 a week. We'll just have to see how it all works out as I get better at this.
