Little over $150. Damn near all of it on DVD's too. Which is really scary considering I don't have a job. But I can keep all my bills paid for the next 8 months and that's all that matters to me.

I've probably spent less this month than any in the last...2 or 3 years? With rent to pay, money not coming in from where it should be, tuition, CC debt...not a pretty picture. Hopefully I'll have everything order within the week/next month.

Then it'll be back to spending like it's my last day on Earth. :)

I wanna know what you people eat that's so cheap... do you live on Raman noodles or something? In college I spent about $100-125 per week on groceries for just me.

No, a ~1000 sq. ft. upstairs apartment in a nice house in the center of town. My roomate and I split the rent (we converted the living room into a bedroom).
