Business expenses (only recording some to see if anywhere we can cut back):
car wash for husbands truck to get salt off from salting last week: 7
husbands truck wheel hub or something or another that had to be fixed and tire alignment: 400



computer monitor: 130 dollars- husband claims it is a business expense- I have mixed feelings on thi, since we already have a computer monitor but he wanted two, to be able to use 2 screens when playing video games. He claims it will make it easier me to do paperwork to have multiple screens open at once,,, emails, quickbooks, neatworks, word documents,,, we will see. We are only at 46 dollars for food so far this month! (not counting the vacation food- keeping that in the separate vacation fund)

I will keep updating this post instead of writing news one like last month because easier to have all our spending on one page. (Still haven't gotten around to adding up all the January total spending except for the food)
