A Little Splurging: Months Where We Had a Little Fun and Spent a Ton

December: Well, we try not to give in to the commercialism of Christmas because we know the real reason for the season, but we wanted to spread a little joy this year.
Our expenses:
Food: $600
Retail: &1,500
Entertainment: $400
New York Vacation: $1,100

February: All work and no play makes the Budget Babes dull and grumpy. This month, we had a housewarming party which caused our month food bill to increase to $800.
We also spent a lot more on retail. In fact, $2,000 was spent this month.

June: Well, what can we say? It was our birthday month. So we had a fabulous party and spent $1,500 on retail items and $300 on entertaiment. We'll have to do some overtime to make up for this, and we'll stock up on peanut butter and tuna.
