Spending for Week 1 of Month

I am jumping the gun a little bit since tomorrow is technically the 7th, but I need to track my spending better and putting it on the blog helps keep me accountable. Therefore, I have estimated what I will spend tomorrow, and I will stick to it!

1-Oct	McDonalds		2.67
2-Oct	Lunch at Steak n Shake		12
2-Oct	Movie Tickets		13
2-Oct	Walmart-Groceries		110
2-Oct	Walmart-Makeup		15
3-Oct	6 GumDrop Pacifiers		10.19
3-Oct	Bras		30
3-Oct	Groceries		11.12
4-Oct	cough syrup		5
5-Oct	East Coast Wings		17
6-Oct	Gas		27.45
7-Oct	Subway		6

My totals are:

Eating out			37.67
Groceries/Personal Stuff			141
Entertainment			13
Gas			27.45
Misc.			40
			259.12

Groceries/personal stuff is a bit high, but I know that's because we had to spend extra getting DH some cold/flu medicine, we bought some Halloween candy (we try to get 1-2 bags a week so we don't have to spend $40 on candy in one week for all the trick or treaters), and I bought some new makeup for the fall. Eating out is decent. It could definitely be lower, but I know from past experience it could be much worse. Entertainment and gas are both great. Misc. is high because of the bras, but I needed them since my other ones were getting tight. However, I might take one back. It just doesn't have the fit that I like, and no one likes an ill fitting bra. This weekend will be high entertainment wise because we are going to the fair, which costs $20 just for tickets to get in and for parking! We always have a blast though, and it only comes once a year. I can't wait to scarf down some of that yummy food!
