Welcome to Money Mondays!

(If you are not reading this post at www.howisavemoney.net  or in your feed reader, it may have been stolen from my site.)

I used to post my financial inflows and outflows on Fridays in the past but I decided to move this to Mondays instead. I normally go grocery shopping on Sundays after church. I will now post the last week’s worth of financial inflows and outflows on Monday so that I can include the weekend spending as well.

This week my financial outflows were:

$36.39 on some food items for the week. This included canned fruit that I can use in my daily snack prep for the week for lunches. I prefer using fresh fruit but for some reason it goes bad before I can get through most of it. I therefore supplement with some canned items like mandarin oranges during the rest of the week.

The electric bill came in at $57.58, which is quite  relief because the weather has been a bit crazy lately. I would like to see the bill go even lower over the next few months because I know it will climb again once the summer hits. On average the bill should be okay for the year since some months will be much lower and some may be much higher. I do have an average, which is the monthly budget amount, so I will see how close it was at the end of the year.
