What I Spent: March 2026

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. However, at some point last month, my credit card was used by somebody that wasn't me and they cancelled my card and I had to get a new on and that meant I couldn't pay for the big Costco trip. What that means is that the groceries this month look miniscule, but that's because my husband paid for a big chunk. Muhahahaha. 



Entertainment ($13.70, <1%) - Spotify membership.

Fitness ($15, <1%) - One fitness class.

Eating out ($30.79, 2%) - I got coffee once and had dinner out with friends when I was in Michigan.

Cars ($31.63, 2%) - I filled up one car with gas once. 

Personal care ($80, 5%) - Face lotion and a hair cut. 

Gifts ($85, 5%) - Some birthday gifts and greeting cards. 

Savings ($200, 12%) - I tried a system earlier in the year to increase this and it worked for exactly one month. 

Bills ($300, 18%) - Water/sewer, home and car insurance

Pets ($420, 25%) - Food for both, litter for the cat, probiotics for the dog. and I had to buy a card for Hannah's baths. Hannah's probiotics are literally like $2/day, so they add up!

Groceries ($490, 30%) - We spent almost this at Costco last month, though, and Dr. BB paid for that. 

******************

April's going to be a bit different, though, because I'm going on a trip with Bestest Friend, so the entertainment number will be much higher! And groceries will definitely increase. I'm not mad about that, though! What's the last thing you bought?

  1. Yay for bestest friend trip! Boo to getting your card hacked but that's life and at least it brought the grocery bill down this month.

    My last buy? Lodging for my next trip! I'm spending this week at home and then I'm getting back out on the road.
