Today marks the first day of my spend only $2300 on everything challenge. This month I've challenged my family to only spend $2300 on everything we need including rent, heat/hydro, gas, food, phone...well you get the idea, $2300 on everything.
I just started keeping track of our expenses this September so I only have two months of totals, but it gives a general idea of how we spend our money. For the month of September our total spent was $4168.27, $388.33 was on groceries, $177.43 was on takeout and $266.70 was on gas. As for October we spent $3119.64, $459.09 was on groceries, $170.98 was on takeout and $170.04 was on gas. As you can guess spending only $2300 is a lofty goal for our family of four, especially considering our rent is $1100, but as you can see we are up to the challenge.
