The challenge...

So this morning Dani (my best friend) and I decided to challenge ourselves to document every penny we spend this month (not including bills and gas) and the one who spends the least wins a prize (a $5 homemade gift, made by the loser). Now, this is a serious challenge for us, because we have matching shopping addictions. But since I'm breaking bad habits now (I just gave up coffee!), I figured I can do it! Of course, we have a ton of Christmas shopping and shipping to do and a couple large tools to buy... well at least I can control the little things I buy. I'll post my weekly purchases on Mondays, broken down to the last cent. We're keeping each other accountable and this should be really interesting. Are we more competitive than we are shopaholics? ;-)
