This has been a much harder task than I anticipated to begin with. I am also struggling with being completely honest with my spending. I know in the end it will be a good thing to have and to be able to track for at least a month will give me the raw data that I need. I am including the category that spending is from and a category total at the end for my references as well. This makes more sense than total spending as even this week was actually in two separate months.

Wednesday 4/30
Ballgame $12 – Family
Strawberries $40 – Grocery
Lunch $15.63- my spending

Thursday 5/1
Dinner $32.90- Family (Lily and I)

Friday 5/2

Saturday 5/3

Sunday 5/4
$107 Lunch (family)
$55 nails (hair)

Monday 5/5
$27 Dinner (Zach and I) family
$10.70 plants (Groceries)
$36.40 Walmart (groceries)

Tuesday 5/6
$12 ballgame (family)

Totals: Family  $233.90 for this week and $318 for 2 weeks (budget is 250).  So that is my savings from last week as well.

Gas  $265 (this is a month budget $500 , but April total was $369)

Groceries $154.39 (also monthly I was WAY over in April)

My spending $21.61 (this pay period was $40)

Total for week $675

So in reality I am down to $10 in savings….. I am hopeful that we can spend less next week for sure!
