Whoops! I missed the August Spend Report last month with all the hubbub that was going on so I thought I would post August and September next to each other. September of course marks a big shift in our spending habits mid-month. The last two weeks of September I haven't been working in an office, so no more temptation of the work cafeteria. I've also been in BC with my husband, so wayyyy less driving. I expect that October and November will show an even more drastic change.
So you can see right away that we spent about $800 less than we usually do (referring to the total less reimbursables).
There are no real surprises here - some spending for baby and home maintenance. The latter was a Costco run for my mom's place, some odds and ends from the hardware store and that sort of thing.
I'm looking forward to seeing the total spend be closer to $2,000 for the month of October.
