Spent the following:

1. Mailed a book we sold on Amazon for $1.89
2. Bought three children's books .13. (You buy them by the pound and they are only 25 cents per pound)
3. Bought Diet Coke $4.21.
4. Spent $65 on our cleaning service.

Saved $25 on our taxes by donating a large pile of decluttered items.

I started a journal earlier, but let it lapse. Now I want to get started again. I found two things helped me spend less money. One was keeping a daily total, as so many of you do. The second was using cash. Today I spent $15.72 for groceries, and used a credit card. Will plan to use cash the rest of the day.
