Welcome to yet another weekly edition of “Where Did The Dough Go?”. Below you can get a completely open and honest view of what we’re spending money on, how much we’re saving, investing and putting away for retirement. Please feel free to learn from our financial mistakes if at all possible, it’s way better than making them yourself.

Notes: Definitely a great week for saving money, almost 200 bucks—awesome. I haven’t had a chance to go to the grocery store lately, so we’ve been eating what we have. Aside of course from the pizza we ordered, I regretted it right away.

Not much spending happening otherwise except for finally getting Roxy’s shots done, that took me forever to get done. I hope you all had a great week.

How did your budgeting/spending go this week?
