Pretty cheap month! But worth it at twice the price. Interesting that your clothes were almost as much as your groceries....a woman after my own heart!

Hmmmmm - what part of the dinner/drinks was dinner and what part drinks?

Guess I'll just stick with my Lean Cuisines and box of wine. However, the clothes expense - I agree with Sharon.

Have you made a note of how many miles you've driven in that time period?

No Ava, that was my expences. Janet, that would be a lot of laundry! No, jeans, dresses and t-shirts. Vickie, good point, I'll check on that tomorrow. I do keep a list of my milage each day. It will be higher than Beth's because when I unhitch we use my truck to go on side trips and into town. We have eatern out more than we planned, mainly when the Internet is in a restaurant then we just HAVE to order something to eat. :P Pooker, There will be no comment on how much was food and how much for drinks. :lol: Incidentely, we have had more bad Margaritas in Mexico than anywhere else. They are very sour. We prefer to make our own.
