No More Stuff

I have no idea where my money goes. There. I said it. I know there's some that goes towards paying off my credit card when I have a periodic blow out and there's food and bus fares and petrol etc. But on the whole I'm really not sure where a lot of it goes. Shame on me:(

So February is going to be a little bit different.

I'm going to track my spending AND I'm going to tell you at the end of the month how much I spent in total on the following categories:
Groceries
Meals Out
Junk Food - I want to be shamed into submission!!
Entertainment - movies, pub etc
Transport - bus fares, petrol and parking
Clothes (including make up, accessories etc)
Incidentals - library fees, magazines etc

I'm also going to post how much I saved.

As part of my February mission to start cutting back on my rampant consumerism, I'm going to participate in a Spend Free Week - that's right - I'm taking a shopping sabatical for a whole week. I'd love to be able to do it for the whole month like the crew on No More Stuff. Wish me luck and I'll report back for better or worse on the 28th.
