Spending Ban | February Edit

Spending Ban | February Edit

• March 18, 2015

February seems long gone but I am sticking to the spending ban I implemented back in January.  

There were a few temptations in February and I no longer see it as a spending ban, but more of a resist-unless-necessary plan!  

Besides the usual travel, food, grocery shopping and bills, here's a few things I splashed the cash on. 

February:

~ General eating out outgoings were not too bad, I over spent on a few of the occasions, but the majority is in green and within budget. I am really liking this way of documenting my spending, it certainly reigns in the random snack buying and makes me think twice about just heading out for lunch.

	Snack £10/wk	Dine out £20/wk	Lunch £10/wk
Wk 1	£6.73	£23.06	£2.35
Wk 2	£9.79	£0.00	£9.05
Wk 3	£12.79	£11.63	£4.23
Wk 4	£14.20	£0.00	£3.19

~ I spent £15.00 on Glamglow thirsty mud. My friend Mandy was going to America and picked up the Glamglow for a fraction of the price so I couldn't resist, especially since my skin has been so dry thanks to the UK winter. 

~ 97p spent on dry shampoo. I used my Superdrug beauty points to knock off £1 and this is a replacement buy.  

~ £53.96 on shoe repair and necessary undergarments. Shoe repair instead of splashing out on new shoes saved me a few ££.

~£70.51 on presents. Birthdays, nephews and nieces are expensive but I never feel right scrimping on this.

So this is it for February. 

Are any you of you guys still on a spending ban or is it just me?!
