Wow!

I was just curious to see how much I actually spend on stuff. So I looked at my bank statement from the last 30 days and added everything up. I hardly use cash for stuff so it shouldn't be too far off the real total.

groceries $124.53
cvs/riteaid/wags $21.79
gas -$327.25
restaurants $178.77

I guess I need to cut back on restaurants. This is mostly grabbing lunch while we are out. We hardly go out to dinner, maybe 1 night a week. But I was really surprised at my grocery total! I didn't realize it was that low! Gas could be lower too but with 2 cars its not horrible. I budget $100 a week for gas.
