For those of us trying to keep our spending in check, it's helpful to start the week off on the right foot, especially because the weekend usually means spending more. What's the tab so far for Monday?

Way more than $30. But I went grocery shopping and ran some other errands today instead of on the weekend like usual. So minus those, I only spent $5 today.
1I paid our tmobile phone bill so that was like $70, lunch was cheap though like $3.
2probably around $5, only $1 was for lunch, but the rest was stuff for dinner.
3Umm, I went and got some work-appropriate clothing shirts, which were on sale, so around $25. Even so, I feel like I spent too much.
4I've been kind of wasteful today - $8 on lattes and snacks... I hate Mondays so I tend to indulge myself
5Between breakfast, lunch and now two veggies slices I picked up for dinner I spend a total of $13.50. Not bad for a Monday.
6I went to the grocery to buy materials to make a sorbet layered "cake"
7between 5 & 10 for lunch. haven't had any other opportunities to spend $ b/c I've been at work allll day and will be here half the night at this rate
8$2 on a cup of coffee
$.75 on a soda
But I'm going out to dinner tonight so I'll probably add on another $30 or so.
9$8. I left my lunch at home today
Otherwise it would usually be $0.
10$38 on a tank of gas, that's it.
11$2 coffee, $1.85 snack, $4 magazine! I splurged a little today.
12I said more than $30 cause I just paid a few bills.
If we're not counting the bills, I've spent no money (coffee and lunch provided by my job).
13$100. I filled my tank and then got a massage! =D
14latte, $3.85
kid's haircut $18
Target run - food, shoes and t-shirt for hubby $59.05
15I didn't spend anything today...but I bought a car this weekend...so, I'm trying to have as many "no spend" days as possible!
16$20.88 on an RX from Wal*Mart. But I get reimbursed for that. So technically $0.
17zilch
18didn't buy anything but i have loans and credit cards building up interest. =/
19more than 30 today but you asked on a good day

26$37 --
but I put $11 in gas in my corolla,
and $15 in my pathfinder.
$6.99 for grilled chicken at the grill next door because I forgot to bring chicken to cook at work for my salad.
And my husband said he spent $5 at chickfilet (however spelled. I never go there).
Pretty inexpensive day, minus the gasoline. Good idea to keep a tally, I never thought of that! Thanks.
27£1100/$2200... I bought a car. Actually it was a little bit more if you factor in insurance, petrol, etc. But yeah ALOT and I wont be spending a dime from now on if I can help it!
28Shoot me I had to buy gas. Only paid $3.47 a gallon though,gas is about the only cheap thing in Jersey.

32i've slowly learned to reduce what i spend most days now. i get an iced green tea ($2.60) and perhaps i'll go back and get my iced coffee after 2pm for $2.00 but that's basically all i'm spending these days.
33OMG I spent almost $100 - I bought 2 pants for work from Old Navy $35, Bus Ticket $20 ATM stop $20, Lunch $10 when to my second job got a Milk shake $8 and fries $5 - It was a very LONG day.
Today - Tuesday and for the rest of the week only $16 I stop at Wal-Mart on my way into work and got a ton of snacks. I also took my lunch and breakfast to work.
34$40 for gas
35$6 for lunch
$1.25!!
36$1.00 for coffee
37I do most all of my spending between Friday and Sunday. I try and look at stuff online or hit the library during the week, but I have a late class tonight, so I figure I'll end up buying a snack.
38I spent $5.14 on a date at Starbucks with my nine year old before his first day of school!
39I almost did a detour to BK for French Toast Sticks, but I thought better of it--I'm buying lunch today, so my $0 is soon to be $5 ($5 foot loooooooooooong--I eat it over two days to save money).
40I bought gas for my car, which was 49 dollars. I drive a mini, so that will last me about two weeks.
41$0 so far. I brought my lunch, drinks and snacks to work today.
42If my boyfriend had brought his lunch, it would be zero, but I took him to eat since he was hungover and wanted greasey food.
