I am a few days late posting this as we had a busy weekend. Week 2 of September Savings Challenge I did pretty good again. I ended up with $3.44 left. :) Hubby was going to be gone on a fishing trip from Friday - Sunday so there was extra money spent on food this week. Hubby being gone also caused some transportation issues. I have two boys 10(M1) & 6(M2) and both had baseball practice on Friday. Luckily one of the other moms helped me out and took the old boy (M1) with them. They went out to eat afterwards so I gave her $10 for his dinner and for helping me out. Here is the break down.
Food $132.56
Gas: $54.00
Eating Out: $10.00
I definitely spent more on food this week than I did the previous week but Hubby likes to take plenty in case he needs it. He did come home with quite a bit of it and the kids are enjoying his leftovers. (Poptarts which I never buy)\
So far this week I have spent $20 on food/drinks at the baseball and football games we went to over the weekend. I don't usually spend this but it was a off weekend for everyone. My Daughter (A) also made the Cheer leading squad this week and we will have that expense coming up. Usually tryouts are in the spring and I wouldn't have to worry about this expense at this time of the year but they moved them to the fall and I wasn't planning ahead. I also prefer the spring tryouts since it gives me more time to come up with the money. There is a new Coach this year so not sure what the expenses are going to be like. Planning ahead is definitely an area I need to work on. Have a good week!
