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?
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.
ReplyDeleteMy last buy? Lodging for my next trip! I'm spending this week at home and then I'm getting back out on the road.
Ooooh bestest friend trip! I am so excited for you! Last thing I bought...probably groceries? I haven't had a spendy week, but I am going to Costco this week so that will change.
ReplyDeleteA bestest friend trip sounds delightful! Having your credit card hacked is not delightful, but nice that it was caught and canceled. The last thing I bought was groceries, and I spent almost $70.
ReplyDeleteLast thing I bought was a bottle of water at the DE rest stop- 4.50!!!! Almost $5 for a bottle of water. Offfff

I am continually outraged at the cost of our groceries. How can tomatoes be this expensive? Why did pasta suddenly jump 35%? And cucumbers! What are they, rare now?
ReplyDeleteThe last thing I bought was groceries, but I included some Matchbox cars and a whole set of little construction vehicles for Theo, so it wasn't entirely boring and hellacious.
A "Guide to Arizona Cacti" book. If that sounds random, it is! Part of a "Phoenix Survival Kit" I'm putting together for my son, who is moving out there next month.
