Food is very expensive
So, i'm trying to budget some so that I can save money to move to Portland, Or sometime next year. It will be a huge opportuinty for me to open up my jewelry to a friendlier craft market and open myself up to new experiences. I went online and disected my spending from the past three months. I am horrified, shocked and astounded at what I have been spending my money on. I figured that in the last 3 months I have spent $740 on groceries and eating out combined. That is ridiculous! Now, it may have been this high because now that I'm living in the 'basement apartment' at my p's house, I sometimes pick up groceries for the p's. Unfortinately I did see Montana Ted's on my list a few times. There buffalo chili tasted just like chili I got in Chicago at this little Jewish deli under Tower Records on Belden. I also saw lots of purchases at Kroger's under $10. Whenever I spend under $10 anywhere, I don't count it as real money because it is such a small amount. That needs to change! i only spent $78 on beauty treatments. That included 4 manicures and an eyebrow waxing. I need to start doing my own nails...but I hate to! My hands have the shakes (a family trait) so it is hazrd to make it look nice. Of course, I didn't include all my Aveda jaunts and Bath and Body Works forays. So, it is probably much higher than $78. My Tourmaline Charged Exfoliating Face Cleanser costs $30 itself! But it does help my nose. This year, for some totes insane reason, my nose began peeling. My make up highlighted every piece of dead skin. So I had to start exfoliating everyday. But, actually, I had to take matters further and get a mini loofah pad for it. And now, if i miss a day of exfoliation, the dead skin comes right back! WTF! So really, I'm saving money because I really want to get a glycolic acid peel (70%). Maybe this will be the year... Okay, new plan! Stop spending so much money on food, and spend the savings on the facial peel! I love budgeting!
