LOL, like you, mostly grocery store food. However, today my daughter and I went to lunch and a movie, so that was fun. I have donations to some local charities on my credit card bill as well. And I bought a new hairbrush for blow drying my hair that is a GAME CHANGER. I mean, I am sure everyone else in the world upgraded to a good blow out brush YEARS ago, but not me. I feel a blog post coming on soon…or at least a mention in a blog post.
I bought a blowout brush last year, and agree it is amazing.
I would usually say it would also all be food related, but last Friday I bought new pillows for our couch and then last week I bought a new stand mixer. Fancy!
I find I often have clusters of purchases. I hope you stand mixer brings you many more years of joy!
Sephora – hair care products
Boody – new leggings and underwear
Spotify – monthly subscription
Costco – dog medicine
Vet – annual exam for the cat
Chewy – cat food
Grocery store – food
Grocery store – food
Grocery store – food
Pharmacy – food/snacks for my office
I’m clearly pet and food-based at this moment in my life.
Yes, the boring credit card statement is actually such an interesting snapshot into life right now.
Grocery stops would rank high on our most frequently visited spots for sure.
Mine would also include:
Kohls (shoes for the two little girls),
our phones,
gas,
restaurant – we took Kay to lunch yesterday,
coffee shop – Coach bought himself coffee yesterday
and finally family therapy.
If I had included the expenses on G’s card, it would have all been coffee shops and going out, plus his online purchases!
Ha, a credit card statement says it all!
Here’s our expenses from the last 2 days, I converted from the SA Rand to USD:
Food (USD 30)
CrossFit monthly subscription (USD 120)
Vodacom monthly subscription (USD 6)
Coffee shop USD 8.-
Restaurant (invited two friends at a vineyard) USD 120.-
I can see you have your priorities set: keeping fit, and good times with friends make the cut.
Mine would be a little atypical right since I am starting to buy Christmas presents! But during a typical week my purchases tend to be at Starbucks and the salad shop in the lobby of my office. Outside of that I don’t have a lot of rhythm to my purchases since Phil does all of our grocery shopping!
G usually does shopping at the bigger supermarket if we need it, which is great after the many years of overflowing trolleys that I had to handle. Of course, now we hardly ever need a trolley.
My parents have to children through worldvision. My dads been working with them for so long and always says its the only NGO worth supporting because the money really gets to the people and not dries up in the system.
I need to look into some donating there too. I always meant to.
We had an accountant friend who worked there, so he gave us the inside scoop. I’ve been a long-term supporter (since my first part-time job), and we added a child sponsorship for each of our children. Now I support a combination of children and communities. We also sponsor an Australian child for school expenses and support, which is similar (most of the funds go to school support, like extra tutoring help and uniforms and books)
