Day 2

Well it's day two and we've set up the excel spreadsheet. Ended up spending $41.25 on groceries (Yes, we really do drink that much milk) and putting $24 in fuel in my truck (which miraculously gave me half a tank).
And then there was $40 spent on adapters for the laptop at home. At EOD the total spent was $438.25. Tonight we've got laundry to do, and although I'm not worried about making an $8 dent in our balance it suddenly seems like a bigger chunk than it was last month. And then there's the fact that it's Cinco de Mayo and we'll probably feel the irrational need to drink more tequila than we ought to. All of this little money tracking is going to seem silly until the next big thing comes and we realize all five of our bar tabs for the two weeks add up to the rent... translation: Ten days until $310 in rent is due.

Day #2 Balance: $561.25
