Other than investments, my largest cost was obviously groceries…
TOTAL MONTHLY SPENDING ON GROCERIES
$441.98: Groceries
That’s actually not as bad as I expected, considering how often I go food shopping. I did really good on NOT spending a lot of money on clothing this month. However, I do owe money for various bills I’ve yet to pay. That will come out of my February salary.
You're good….as I mentionedon one of my other replies, myweakness is Whole Foods. Despite(or maybe because of) being single,I go crazy at Whole Foods, when I'mvisiting in a town that HAS one.Not organics, so much, justeverything LOOKS so good and fresh….
Harm: The problem is, living near san francisco, there are like 20 different grocery stores that are like (or better than) whole foods.
