My Frugal Miser - September Expenses: $3,364

In September I did okay.  I kept my rental property expenses low, mostly because I spent so much earlier in the year.  My personal expenses are even lower than it looks because almost all the $561 I spent on gas was to do the mystery shopping route I am on.

Notes

• I don't include principal payments in my expenses, only the interest portion of the monthly mortgage bills.
• I don't drive around aimlessly.  Almost all of my auto expenses were incurred in the course of completing mystery shops. 
• $160 Miscellaneous:  $90 reimbursable expense related to my grandfather's estate; $70 parking at the Kansas City airport
