My husband is a full time smoker, I'm a part time smoker. We didn't figure the smoking expense into our expenses, but as you know (if you smoke) it can be anywhere from a $200-$400 a month habit. We have been spending about $300 a month ::CRINGE::, but my husband cannot quit. Is this just an expense we can't account for?

....you smokers should be glad you don't live in NY, they raised the tax to $4.53 a pack. In NYC you add the city tax and prices are up around $14 a pack...
Your lawyer should know if the trustee will object to cigarette expense, probably depends on if the trustee smokes or not....

We don't smoke, but we do like our wine in the evening, and 'Hub likes his beer. I don't recall putting a line item for alcohol anywhere in the paperwork. I DO recall being mildly embarrassed at the numbers of trips to ABC that showed up in our bank statements that we had to turn over to the attorney. But nothing was ever said."To go bravely forward is to invite a miracle."

Was wondering how alcohol purchases would be viewed. I have been making sure to pay cash for wine and beer for months now.

Learn to homebrew beer and wine...it allows you to make what you like, for less than buying it, and it's legal, as long as you do not distill the product of fermentation into spirits. As for smoking, guess you will have to play trustee roulette, and hope that your trustee shows up with a pack of Marlboros.
