One Month Challenge, Day 3

This month, Zen Habits is taking up the One Month Challenge and I will be tracking all of my expenses and logging them throughout the month of February.

Day 3 of my One Month Challenge has passed. Here's how it turned out:

• Item: Jacket for daughter, t-shirt; Cost: $12.50; Essential: Yes
• Item: Pizza; Cost: $27; Essential: No
• Item: DVD from Blockbuster; Cost: $4.79; Essential: No
  

My daughter Chloe is going on a student exchange trip to Japan and will need the jacket. The pizza was to feed my family, but eating out isn't essential. Neither is a dvd.

Running total after 3 days is $77.52.
