As a reminder, my husband pays the "big bills" like mortgage, phone, car, and electricity. I pay for groceries and the pets and that somehow evens things out.
Something's that absolutely not included here is that we bought a new car and put down some serious $$$. That came out of our shared savings account. Still. It's on my mind.
Entertainment ($12.65, <1%) - My Spotify subscription.
Cars ($87.64, 2.5%) - Gas a few times. (LOL at the elephant in the room on this one.)
Clothes ($109.85, 3.1%) - I bought new leggings and underwear and I'm still figuring out some new shoes. The saga of the shoes is long and maybe someday I'll regale you with it, but I paid for the shoes, had to return them for fit, and then they charged me more for the adjustments. This has been a literally months long process and I'm not even sure I love the shoes.
Gifts ($137, 3.9%) - A birthday gift for my nephew and I ordered holiday cards and our Christmas ornament for the year.
Eating out ($147, 4.2%) - At the beginning of the month, I was in Michigan and the bulk of this is a dinner where I treated my sister and brother-in-law.
Savings ($200, 5.7%) - I mean, it IS something, I guess.
Personal care ($221.06, 6.3%) - Haircut, some hair product, and some makeup.
Bills ($256.01, 7.3%) - Water/sewer and insurance. This will go up slightly with the new car.
Groceries ($699.40, 19.9%) - This doesn't seem too bad.
Pets ($769.93, 21.9%) - ARGH. Last month this was under $300. Zelda had her annual exam, they both got food, I bought some birdseed, and Zelda had ALL her medicine replaced this month.
Health ($877.05, 24.9%) - I'm still paying my PT and I had an eye exam and ordered new contacts and I had to pay $50 for pathology for that tortuous appointment. I have to admit that seeing that all this was more than groceries for the month has been a hard pill to swallow.

Normally I ask about fun purchases, but I'm switching it up. What did you pay for in November that you resent?
