Spending may have doubled at Premier Christy Clark's office this fiscal year, but other ministries have added to their bills as well.

 Transportation and Infrastructure spent an extra one million dollars in 2011-2012 than the year before.

 Government credit card records show the ministry of jobs, tourism and innovation spent $2.5 million this latest fiscal year.

 The Energy and Mines department, under Rich Coleman, doubled its spending to 737-thousand dollars.
 
 Its purchases include 34-hundred dollars at coffee shops, 4-thousand on cabs, and almost 18-thousand on catering, 4-thousand on taxis, and nearly 18-thousand on catering.

 A few other notables are $436 at Rogers chocolates, and $30 at a vitamin store.

 Not all ministries spent more year-to-year.

 Both Health and Children and Family Development shelled out more than one million dollars less than 2011-2010, although Mary McNeil's ministry did drop 37-thousand dollars at 7-Eleven.
