789.42

Upcoming expense: 22.25 birth control

From October 3-21st I spent 789.42. It's crazy how fast money goes when you aren't keeping track on your nickels and dimes. I'm still working on creating a budget. S's birthday is in 6 days and I need to go shopping for him tomorrow. I want to spend a reasonable amount.

I'd like to explain the Mario Tricocci expense though since usually I spend about 15 dollars on my hair for a haircut. I went back to Chicago for a wedding that I was in, and the maid of honor told me that she would book me a hair appointment at a salon...she never did. I scrambled to find a salon open on a Sunday that could take me at 10am or earlier. Mario Tricocci was the only one that I could find. The Mash House- I went out to dinner with S and for the first time in a very long time (well not the first time in a long very time that we went out to dinner-we tend to go out a lot...) but the first time in a while that I picked up the check :) I love having a job! Victoria's Secret...S came home from being gone for a month *blushes* and got something fun and frivolous. On the plus side of the 700 that I spent this month 300 of it went to debt repayment :)

Well that's it for now. Time for bed!

  1. Money goes by so fast! I luckily just got cheaper birth control and it's only $10 for a three month supply.

  2. Wow...sign me up for that! My sister has one that is only 4.99 a pack. I don't understand why mine is so expensive! Sigh...but hey...20 is better than the 70 that I was paying when I had my own individual plan for a year.

  3. I use to pay $37 a month, so I know how you feel! I just switched to this other stuff. My insurance covers most of it now, thankfully!

  5. Have you called around for prices on your bc? You may find that it's cheaper.

  6. Mrs. M- I've thought about looking at different ones but I haven't had any adverse effects from it so I don't really want to mess with it. However, this is the only one that I have ever used so I should consider trying a different one. If I've learned anything from reading PF blogs its that you should always shop around for the best price :)
