Day 30 - Aug 28

Spent $8.40 on a small present for James.

Day 29 - Aug 27

The $3 I spent on ants went through and the ants are here! Twice as many of them this time for the same price.

Also, I spent $7.54 shipping a shirt back to get a better one and $9.80 shipping the fetish shoes I sold on ebay for $36.

Oh, and I spoent $75 on a fitness pass. That sounds like a lot, but it lasts until Dec & gives me unlimited classes (including yoga, pilates, cycle, weightlifting, Zumba, kickboxing, etc). If I go to 2 classes per week and take out the week(s) I'll be on vacation, the classes still only cost $2.50 apiece. Usually, yoga goes for $8/class.

Day 28 - Aug 26

Spent nearly $14 at Walmart on household goods (hangers, Advil for Adam, potting soil, dishwashing detergent, etc) and $56 at Christmas Tree Shops (glasses, food, bug spray, notecards, more hangers, kitchen towels, birdseed & feeder, doormat, & a $1.69 lipstick).

However, my roommates will be reimbursing me $15.

Oh yeah, I also went to the grocery store and though I can't find the receipt, I spent $51, $13 of which was on plants to make me happier in the winter. (ok, so I really got angry by the deplorable condition in which they kept their plants & bought the worst off ones... which now that I'm reasonable again, I realize will just encourage them to mistreat more plants as they can make money off them.)

Day 27 - Aug 25

I spent $104 on my kitties today. They got their annual check-up and some shots.

Day 26 - Aug 24

Today, I spent $14.82 on some Burton Snowboard gloves that were marked down from $71. (I needed some new waterproof gloves, my old ones have a hole and seep water in.)

I also bought James a keychain for $8 to celebrate his new car.

Day 24 - Aug 22

You know, I can forgive myself when I slip on my "no online shopping at work" rule when it's a new shirt or something, but coveting stamps online is nerdy beyond belief. I didn't only covet today, I actually needed stamps so I spent $10.20 on new stamps and 2 cent stamps to make my old stamps worthwhile. As I was browsing for a pretty design, I thought I may as well get an extra to put in my stamp collection. $44 dollars later, I am now the proud (if ashamed) owner of said useful stamps, plus a set of "Marvel Superheroes" (I already had the DC Superheroes, how am I expected to resist Marvel?), a "Louis Comfort Tiffany" set of stained glass based stamps (another of my weaknesses, damn you, Postal Service), an extra set of "Beautiful Blooms" (the original "useful stamps" I picked out), and a "Pollination" set (I'm a sucker for bats).

Speaking of bats, I also bought a set of 2002 bat stamps I have long coveted ($11+shipping) and a set of Bright Eyes stamps that caught my eye from the same seller ($9.49+shipping). Shipping has yet to be determined though, as it should be combined.

I was proud of myself though, as I resisted the temptation of the Disney stamps. I bought one set of Disney stamps a long time ago and though I do not like them or those that have followed them, I've felt an urge to buy Disney stamps to keep my lonesome Disneys company since that first errant purchase. I should just use them and be done with it, but I've pledged to myself not to use or sell any of the stamps that go in my book. It's a test of my own willpower before I will allow myself to see/touch/covet my Dad's more valuable stamps.

Day 23 - Aug 21

No monies spent yet, but I also have a fairly empty fridge (though full cabinets). Some fresh veggies may be in order. :)

James went shopping while I was at the movies ($6), after I had bought myself a dinner of candy ($3.50, but Beth reimbursed me $1.25 for her gummi bears).

Total spent: $8.25
