Friday: $8 on a dress for my SIL’s upcoming wedding (had a discount code and a gift card). Drove out of town to visit my parents for the weekend.
Saturday: $86 on union dues that somehow didn’t process when I paid them earlier in the month. Helped my dad plant a garden full of salad greens and install rabbit fencing.
Sunday: $0. We were going to eat out when we came home from my parents, but the tasty pan-Asian place near our house had like a dozen cop cars in the parking lot, so we stayed home and ate potstickers from the freezer instead.
Saturday: $14.17 Home feeling like crap, dropped off dry cleaning ($0 but will be $13.50 when I pick it up), picked up prescriptions ($0 because I hit my OOP max), stocked up on vegan mac and cheese at the grocery store for 60% off and black beans ($14.17), then went skating ($0 thanks to public skate pass)
Sunday: $0 Went skating $0; stayed in working rest of day (free)
Friday: $10 on bread at a local bakery to bring in to work (it’s good to bribe the co-workers). $8.96 at Trader Joe’s for some lunch and breakfast stuff for the work day, and $10.84 on a yoga mat (I’ve had one on my purchases-to-age list for a good two years and figured it was finally time). My monthly donation to the SPCA ($25) and our utilities bill ($253.86, of which $203 will be paid back to me by housemates = net spend about $50) also came out of my account this day.
Saturday: $15 for my monthly donation to Planned Parenthood.
Sunday: $0 spent.
Total damage: $29.80 “unscheduled” purchases, $120.66 net purchases when including utilities and charity.
Friday: $0
Saturday: $150-ish, went to lunch with brother and his GF and treated them.
Sunday: $20-ish, went to lunch with a friend (dutch). $5, went to a bar with friends (ordered seltzer, lime, bitters) tip included.
Spent most of the weekend at my parents’ house and didn’t have to get gas, so the only thing we bought this weekend were a few groceries on Sunday afternoon–about $30.
Friday: $8 or so on lunch with a colleage during the brief lull between end-of year meeting. Was worth it to get a chance to talk to this colleague, and I won an award for my research that comes with a check for $1,000 at the university-wide convocation.
Saturday: $32.50 for tractor hydraulic fluid (this is a fantastic price; usually it’s $50 for a five-gallon bucket)
Sunday: About $20 for Chinese takeout which husband brought over to our friends’ place. I’d been there several hours helping them pack to move by the time he got there. They gave us a bunch of dog bedding and a 3D printer (!)
I bought groceries on Thursday, so that doesn’t count (but was $50 for the week for the house - he bought some for his apartment earlier in the week).
Sunday $2 on milk, $14 on beer, $7 on doughnuts and $20 on admission to go up the mountain to get married. Add in $30 for the marriage license (which we got last Tuesday) and we paid $73 to get married.
