My Frugal Miser - June 2025 Expenses

Thanks to a fat sweepstakes deposit from Chumba Casino and job reimbursement income, June was a great month.  

  • I spent less than $100 on food because I worked 23 days in June.  I am usually reimbursed for food when I'm on the road.
  • I bought a lifetime alignment package for the car.  I also had to pay court costs for a traffic ticket that was dismissed.
  • When I switched from an ACA health care plan I also cancelled my dental insurance.  In its place I paid $249 for a VIP plan directly with a new dentist.  The plan includes two cleanings, X-rays and a 20% discount on all services for a year.
  • Clothing/ Personal Care was the most "frivolous" category in June.  I bought a 3 pack of reflexology sessions.  It's the one way I pamper myself.  I also bought a new shirt and some hygiene products.

Fun

We love adventures.  Spending on experiences makes us better humans.  
  • I received a big deposit from Chumba Casino and then played the deposit (you have to play through it once before redeeming) to an extra $200.  This was offset slightly by the $400 I spent to upgrade our cabin to a balcony on our upcoming Scandinavian and Baltics cruise out of London.
  • I pay for two AMC A-List subscriptions each month.
