So often I blog about my wants and my wish-list that I decided to take some time and share Things I Enjoy: Nonconsumer Goods Edition. If you want to take your mind off money, I’d love if you’d read and comment!
If you want to talk about money, here’s where mine went this week. How about you?
- $10 Starbucks GC
- $21 lunch with friends
- $25 Flickr subscription
- $44 grocery
All in all, a good week.
I have a fridge full of fruits and veggies (Seriously, you cannot beat Costco for great organics!), some new neon shoes ($10 at Target!), and I can do anything with a tank full of gas and an internet connection.
- $36 internet
- $33 gas
- $80 Costco
- $42 Target
How was your week?

Ever get so focused on one part of your budget that another gets out of control? I’ve been so preoccupied on paying down a specific bill that I hadn’t even noticed that I blew through my grocery budget within the first ten days of the month. Looks like I’ll be digging deep in the pantry!
- $66 grocery
- $78 grocery
- $78 DSW
- $85 Zappos
- $12 Bluehost
- $28 Target
- $50 CVS
