Daily tracking

Ended up realizing I have an early doctor appointment tomorrow so I decided to go out and fill up the truck so I don't have to do it while I'm on the way.

Monday
gas: $30.06

Tomorrow is going to be a doctor visit filled day, so I doubt I'm going to be able to spend any money. Which is a good thing!

Someone, please smack my hand.

Or at the very least block me from looking at stuff on Amazon. That site is so sneaky with its suggestions of things I may like. I am bad and I broke my own rule about shopping and ordered myself a new cell phone case. Granted, it is super cute and was not very pricey. But still. I didn't need it. I guess I will consider it my birthday gift to myself, which I will allow. I kind of have to anyway...the thing's already been paid for.

Sunday
Amazon: $20.93
(cell phone case + shipping)

Ok. From here on out I am promising myself I will be better.

Tomorrow is a new day.

The countdown begins

It's two weeks until my birthday. This year we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of my 21st birthday. I have no idea what I want to do yet. Most likely there will be a dinner with my parents, because that usually happens every year. Besides that, no idea.

Any suggestions?

So much for not spending.

I ended up having to go to the grocery store today. I ran out of iced tea, and that just simply will not do. I also ended up buying two avocados to make guacamole. All in all I spent less than $6.

Sunday
Giant: $5.67

Not so bad, right? Everybody's gotta eat.

No-spend Sunday

I'm pretty sure today will be a no-spend day. Hopefully tomorrow will too.

Lazy Sunday, commence!

It's Saturday. Of course that's the day most people choose to run their errands, and I am no exception. So here it is. My first post about spending.

Saturday
Target: $16.25
(a tank top, candle, and hand soap refill)
lunch: $5.29
(a burrito from Fiesta Burrito Bar. NOMS!)

Hopefully the burrito is good, considering I haven't tried this place before.

Happy Saturday!

And she's back!

Hello there!

After a few years of hiatus, I am back! I have decided to stop the shopping a second time, in order to gain better control of my finances. One major plus right now is that I'm temporarily staying with my parents, so I don't have any rent or utilities to pay. But I still need to be saving, so I can get outta here again someday, haha. Currently I'm living off unemployment, but I'm in the job search process.  It's an ongoing, tiresome affair.

I met with a recruiter at JFC Staffing this past week and he said he has some promising leads for me, he just needed a few days to get my portfolio ready to show his clients. Hopefully I will be hearing some positive news in the coming weeks. It seems that the skills I gained in the medical records department of my last job will be a huge asset, because a lot of practices are turning to electronic medical records now.

Anyway, it's pretty early in the morning so there's no spending for me to speak of. Yet.

Stopping the shopping begins again TODAY!!

Daily tracking...finally.

So I know I said I would update this thing about ten days ago. Sorry bout that. Been massively busy. Anyway, here's some daily tracking!

Friday
lunch: $13
mini golf: $5.50
dinner: $25

A bit much, but still not too bad. I haven't really been spending a lot in the past few weeks due to being busy with school and all. Yesterday was a nice treat.

Saturday
gas: $22

A necessary evil. At least the prices have been going down around here, dunno about elsewhere though. The average is around $2.35 a gallon.

Sorry..

I apologize for not regularly updating as of late. I've been going through some personal issues so the blog has fallen by the wayside for a bit. I haven't abandoned it, I swear. I'll get back to things as usual tomorrow.

Tuesday
$0

Wednesday
Dentist co-pay: $1

Thursday
?

It's been really easy for me not to spend much during the week. I'm not sure if it's because I'm not that busy or just lazy. Either way, it works out in my (wallet's) favor. I have a training session at work this morning and after that I was thinking about stopping at Ulta. I'm out of foundation and moisturizer, and I actually want to speak to a consultant type person about a couple products. Otherwise I'd just look at work because they have a pretty comprehensive make-up & body care section, for a grocery store. Maybe I'll check there first anyway, since I'll already be there. Can't hurt.

Tuesday was great. It was a pretty uneventful day overall, but when I went up to the mall for my friend to touch up my hair she told me she had a bunch of clothes for me to look at. She's moving to San Diego at the end of the summer so she decided to clean out her closet...and give me first dibs. Sweet! So I ended up with some new clothes and killer shoes for absolutely nothing. I love my friends.

Tonight's another round of Kinky Quizzo. Since I barely spent anything this week I'm gonna let myself splurge a bit. Ooh lala! Anyway, time to finish my Bagelful (they're so good!) and get my ass out the door.
