It wasn't a stellar week at our house. The 'flu kept us at home and out of the stores, but spurred us to spend money on Gravol and acetominophen. Neither are inexpensive, although we did manage to find some coupons to help offset the cost.
We were, once again, over budget on gasoline. This will likely continue for the next several months so we'll be adjusting our budget figures to accommodate the change.
On a positive note, I've had enough extra work this month to offset the increase in gasoline expenditures. That's encouraging. :)
Here's what we spent last week:
