On How Much Do You Spend on Electricity Each Month?

$0. Seriously, it's awesome. Our (husband and me) electricity is included in our rent.

On Doo-Do-Doo-Do-Doo-Do-Doo-Do-Doo-Doo-Do 1 Thing

@OllyOlly Ahh - that really sucks. I must confess, I've never actually been there....a couple of my friends really like it. I usually go to Parlour on U st, which is definitely not in your preferred price range ($80+).

@OllyOlly I think Eastern Confederate (in Mt. Pleasant) is around that price.

On Very Specific Reasons to Buy and Eat Dessert

@Dancercise Same here. We def. always had a cookie or two after dinner. Sometimes a frozen Reese's Peanut Butter cup (my favorite).

On How Much Do You Spend on Transportation Each Month?

I'm going to estimate $75. This is a combo of CapitalBikeShare, the bus, and zipcar. CapBikeShare breaks down to $6.25 a month, I'm estimating 6 bus rides a week ($38.4/month), $20 in zipcar (to get groceries, and $10 Car2Go (random trip). I very rarely take the metro (like twice a month), so I'm leaving that out. I also live in a very centrally located part of town (AdMo) so I walk a lot.

On How Much Do You Spend on Groceries Every Week?

I'm one of those crazy people who tracks monthly expenditures. For 2012 (household of 2), we averaged $447.72 per month, which breaks down to $223.86 per person per month and to $55.96 per week per person. For 2013 so far, it's been $430.68 monthly average for two people, $215.34 per person per person, and $53.84 per person per week. So just over $100 for two people per week. This includes 4 lunches apiece, and at least 5 home cooked dinners a week, plus snacks and beer. We also live in DC, so the weeks I go to the farmers market can drive up the overall total (I prefer to buy my meat from there).
