Damage control update

Well, I didn't walk the dogs like I had planned but I did get some grocery shopping done! Didn't make the wisest choices tho, as I forgot we still had some stuff in the fridge and re-bought them! Also bought my petrol and paid some bills.

Today's spending:

Lunch: Subway $6.85
Petrol: $47.14 (including some chewing gum for the car)
Electricity Bill: $219.11
Transferred $220 to credit card to make up for weekend purchases, including $74 for this months minimum repayment
Internet/phone bill: $62.43
Groceries:

  • 4 x cans tuna $5.00
  • Corn thins $1.96
  • Bread Rolls $2.25
  • Loaf of Bread $4.99
  • 1L Rev milk $2.39
  • 1kg bag of carrots $2.29
  • Cherry tomatoes $1.99 (Still had TWO punnets at home!)
  • Broccolini $3.99
  • Chinese Broccoli $1.99
  • 2 x peaches $2.35
  • 4 x plums $1.97
  • 2 x nectarines $1.90
  • 2 x sweet corn $1.00
  • 2 x Lebanese cucumbers (Had 1 at home)
  • 1.2kg White seedless grapes $3.49
  • 1 x lettuce (the worst part was there was 2.5 at home!!!)

Total: $40.79 - if you recall, i had budgeted $30 but I failed to include fruit, milk and bread in that estimation so overall not a bad shop. BF likes the expensive bread and I "wasted" some money by purchasing things already at home.

Ate dinner at home (check for home cooked meal!) and have plans to read my book as soon as I press "Publish Post".... ciao!

P.S Got a letter from private health fund informing me it was going up to $128.51 a month - up about $5 a month! Not good!
