What did you spend this weekend? Other currencies may also contribute!
I spent approximately $60 at one grocery store and $50 at the other. We went a little bit over budget for food for the month, largely due to treating family and friends to brunch early on. I rolled with the punches and moved money from the Baby category, since we hardly touched that this month (or maybe not at all, I forget) now that we don’t have to buy formula.
I also spent $1.58 on a fountain pen from China. That was totally unplanned but well within my fun budget.
Fuel on Friday, two vehicles. And $14 for a big metal pipe that didn’t work for the repair we need to do on my Jeep, which is not as fully recovered from hitting a deer as we thought. I will return the pipe, but forgot today while driving right by the farm supply, darn it.
Groceries for two houses on Saturday - $80. (Then the forgotten dog and cat food + an emergency jar of artichoke hearts today for $35. )
No money out yesterday, but we did figure out what’s wrong with the Jeep (the deer also busted the turbo air cooler, which is $$ and not available in the junkyard because roughly three diesel versions of my Jeep were sold in the US during its model year). Then late at night we realized there’s a big crack in the pan of our shower unit (when the water started leaking out from under the wall…) So that will be more $ to repair, hopefully next weekend but apparently it’s a big job - just not quite as much as a replacement would be.
Today: $553 for the turbo air cooler, $40 for dog meds, plus the critter food and emergency artichokes above. Oh, and $3.99 + tax for a fabulous tunic at the expensive thrift store.
Problem solved!
