My Frugal Miser - September 2022 Expenses

  My spending in September was a bit lower than in August.

  • As I was barely home, gas for the car was under $100.
  • One of the cats had a UTI so I took her to the vet.  I also used a cat sitter several times while we were working out of town.
  • I paid for a crown for one of my teeth.
  • We worked two meeting jobs in Orlando where we were not reimbursed our travel expenses.  

Fun

We love adventures.  Spending on experiences makes us better humans.  

  • Carnival Cruises offered a deal on upgrading our cabin for the transatlantic cruise we are taking at the end of the month.  A few months ago I called to inquire, and was quoted nearly $2,000 to upgrade from an interior room to a balcony.  This time it was offered for $450.  For a 13 night cruise, that's an extra $35/night to go from a no-window interior room to one with a balcony we can sit on to enjoy our morning coffee.  Deal.
