My Frugal Miser - January Expenses: $1,900 (really $1,256)

January was decent.  Over the last several months I bought several gift cards, mostly to restaurants.  I already reported those gift cards as expenses, so the actual cash outlay for food last month was under $100.

I stocked up on wine, increasing the entertainment line.  But I also paid off the AMEX, so January is the last month where I will pay exorbitant interest expenses.  I paid $900 to replace a crown.  I didn't like how the old one fit.  Finally, my health insurance went down after I re-assessed my ACA eligibility.
