a financial voyeur’s dream come true: all the intimate details of how, where, and why I spend money

Addendum to November 11 Spending

Total Spent Today: $111.44

Ever wake up in the morning and have no recollection of where you went or what you did the day before?  Okay, ever have that happen without the influence of alcohol?
All day today I’ve been freaked out by the fact that I posted Tuesday’s expenses thinking I was completely coherent only to discover that I [...]

$$: Cases of Lemonade & Fuel

Total Spent Today: $237.61

Not only am I SWI (shopping while impaired) but I’m also sick.  I’ve completely lost my voice, my throat is killing me, and I ache!  Boy do I ache.
So the last thing I felt like doing was leaving the house to go shopping.  Too bad for me we were completely out of milk.  Running out [...]

$$: No More Filing Papers on the Floor

Total Spent Today: $16.15

The Container Store — $16.15
Now, I’m not accepting any flack on this purchase.  I know I could have spent a lot less filling this need elsewhere but not without a great deal of time and effort expended.   In my current SWI (shopping while impaired) condition, time and effort are in very short supply [not to mention [...]

$$: More Clothes & Gas

Total Spent Today: $19.01

As I’ve already written, I spent most of the day working for the Obama campaign on one final GOTV push.
But I did manage to spend a little bit of money.
Gap — ($19.33)
During the one break in my volunteer duties, I stopped in the Gap store and returned the two pair of canvas pants I’d [...]

$$: Food & Clothes

Total Spent Today: $75.63

Although I was tired and feeling very impaired (… still can’t decide if I have the flu or a bad Fibromyalgia flare-up), I managed to make myself go out and run some necessary errands once a car was made available.  I had two lunches to prepare and realized that we had no lunch meat and [...]

Day 291: Movies, Gifts, & Groceries

Well, I think I’ve finally recovered from the virus that so violently attacked my body a few weeks ago.  But, Dear Readers, I feel so awful and my finances reflect that fact.  I’m not quite sure of the reason(s) behind my current state of ill-health but I suspect it has to do with the quadruple-whammy of [...]

Day 130: A Flurry of Shopping

Can you believe that I didn’t make my first purchase of the day until 7:46 pm and yet managed to spend a grand total of $239.70 in less than 1-1/2 hours in a total of 6 different transactions?  That’s got to be some kind of record for me — particularly astonding since I usually avoid [...]
