I was very accurate on the grocery spend (it was $101.86) and the fact that we bought whole milk and are starting to transition the wiggler off formula.
The play date got canceled, sadly, so we did the grocery shopping Saturday. On Sunday, we went shopping and spent…
$3.50 on a book for the wiggler (it has a finger puppet in the middle!)
$5 on a new (secondhand) shirt for me (not entirely necessary, but it is red with tiny white stars)
and the big one, $475 on a beautiful antique dresser to replace the 15-year-old dresser from IKEA that we have for the wiggler, which has been falling apart
I spent zero dollars because I didn’t leave my house.
Also I had delicious food, as I had found good ingredients in the back of the freezer.
It was a win.
Haircut at Open Barbers (yay for my local hairstylist for all lengths, genders and sexualities) £20
Diane Arbus exhibition (£7 plus extortionate £3 booking fee but it was worth booking in the end as the slot I was attending with friends was sold out when I got there)
Friends’ band’s show - got in on the guest list, but spent about £9 on drinks
Of Love and Law movie £12.50. Ouch! I normally go on discounted nights early in the week but I went on Sunday for full price as I suspected I would be too tired and hungry to go after work. It was totally worth it as this movie was SO GOOD and super heart warming.
Saturday: $0. Walked the dog, biked to work and back, ate leftovers.
Sunday: $TBD. After work I met up with some friends for a delicious dinner at a restaurant I’ve never been to. We shared a lot of plates. One friend took the bill and we will settle up later this week - it will probably be most of my personal fun money for the month and it was WORTH IT!
Saturday: $10 for pizza and $5.91 for fancy chocolate covered almonds
Sunday: $40 for supplies to make jewelry storage/display and $15 on fancy macha powder (all items arriving this week).
I think I spent less than anticipated because I was lazy and only really went to work and then worked from home. I skipped going skating because I woke up too late to make the 7:15AM ice session.
Friday: $5.28 at Trader Joes of treats (mmmm ghost pepper chips) Saturday: $0 - biked to my workshop, taught a 3 hours workshop, had nachos at home for dinner Sunday: $0 - wrote monthly report, did design work, did forum maintenance, did not leave the house
Well then. I definitely should have spent more because we have very few groceries in the house right now and I need some things for my trip next week, but whatever…
Indigo girls tickets – they are playing an open air show in June, bought tickets for me and my sister, she reimbursed me already, my share: $49.50
Groceries – urgent run for milk (old jug had gone chunky, eeewwww…) + some other stuff: $24.53
Laptop repair store – DD’s computer was not charging. Wasn’t sure if it was just the cord or something else. Paid more for their charger than I would have on Amazon because they did confirm it was just the cord. Extra cost = helping keep a local business viable, which I think is worth the extra $20: $42.94
Art supplies for DD: 14.97
Clothing items for the kids (some may be returned) and cold meds for DD: $50.84
