Feb - $63.97
Mar - $103.13
Apr - $0
May - ($10.00)

Jul - $232.82
Aug - $34.92

2007 - $3,273.42

I finally had the balls to total up my year, and unfortunately my overall spending is up this year - $4923.98.  That was after selling a small number of extras ($566 worth), but at least it was able to keep me under $5000.

2007 - $2682.12.  (spending $5067.63, but sold $2385.52; numbers don't exactly add up because of eBay fees, etc)
2006 - $7960.96
