17.50 for gas and 3.36 for breakfast. Payday is tomorrow, Yahoo! so I'm down to my last $8.00. DH spent 37.00 on tattoo ink from his allowance.

We spent $7.01 at Lowe's for some house repairs:
-- new starters for DH fish tanks
-- hooks to put back up a kitchen shelf that fell (the old ones broke)
-- crazy glue to fix a ceramic bowl that broke

Well my first stop was at dh's bank he wanted me to take out $20 for him so I took out $30 $10 for me & $20 for him then went & did a test drive after mailing it in I will make around $50 - $100 its for something I will probably sale if I cant use it!!! Then I went to the mall right next store & ate lunch with my almost 3yr old & had a free kids coupon for her I got a sandwich & fries that was it & mine was like $4.15 then I walked down the mall & spent $1.07 for a gift bag & got another free $10 item from bath & body works then on my way home I got $15 in gas wish I had my gas card I would have gotten gas for free. So thats what I spent today I guess about $30 for me & then will give dh the $20

I had only planned on buying lipstick and some envelopes, large and small. I saw lots of christmas candy items on sale, so I would up spending $43. I also got 6 tiny boxes of candy to give to the waitresses at "our" restaurant. We leave their regular (week before christmas) tip of $6 ($20 or less meal), a christmas card with $20 and a little box of candy.
Anyway, I spend $43 but I did get 5 christmas gifts.

Ima, you're a doll!
I spent 35 for my haircut (includes tip)--this lady is a magician and my hair needs her.
I spent 44 in groceries--some now, some for Thanksgiving, some for Christmas baking. So most food went into Christmas budget.
I spent 15 on a hair product--once again, my type of hair needs this product. It will last awhile.

I like this new thread, it will make us think about what we spend each day. I won't count paying bills, that is a necessity.

Nada. Zilch!

[BCHGRL]

Sorry, forgot the $1.50 I spent at the snack bar at work.

[bjl584]

Well, I actually spend 0 today. Actually, I think that I only spent around $50 in the past week or so. Not too bad.

[frugalmomof1]

Well if we are not counting bills, then I spent $.70 on a candy bar from the vending machine. My homemade soup and bread for dinner left me feeling hungry.

[doodles44]

I spent $275 on two pairs of glasses. It's a lot, but I had budgeted for it and it is well worth it for being able to see.

Other than that, it was a no-spend day. Leftovers for lunch and dinner at my parents.

[kealina]

no spend day over here... lol... just wait until saturday when we go to yard sales and fill up on gas...

[jodi]

Well, since this was originally posted yesterday, here's yesterday's total: $4.20 to mail out the coupon train, $40 for day care.
Today: ugh. I went Christmas shopping. I spent about $80 on gifts and $30 on groceries. I took out the cash beforehand, so it was all budgeted for. But that doesn't mean that it hurts any less!

[Daylily]

Spent nothing today.
I usually only spend on the weekends.

[mom-from-missouri]

none. DH always buys his breakfast on Tues mornings, but today a coworker treated him, so he also spent none.

[PRICEPLUS]

Spent not one thin dime!

[rduell]

I spent:

$16 for a haircut
$24 on gas for the car
$10 for school lunch account for DS#2

[fairy74]

My favorite number of all ZERO!

[MonkeyMama]

$0 yesterday as well.

I have the feeling I will need gas today or tomorrow and a post above reminded me I wanted to get a haircut today. So if I remember and I am not too lazy I will probably spend some money today.
