Here are all of my expenses for the last month! I paid my 2020 property taxes, and I’ll pay my 2021 property taxes in November so I’ll be able to claim two years of property taxes on my 2021 tax return in an attempt to get over the standard deduction. My bulk spending included three pounds of bacon, five boxes of cereal, two dozen eggs, two containers of hummus, two bags of popcorn kernels, two bags of pretzels, seven TV dinners, and twelve bottles of wine. Those are my only notes for the month.
