I had a super full weekend and spent basically nothing on it since my sister was visiting and she has A Real Job and insisted on not only paying for all our meals out, but even bought me a new dress when we went shopping. We saw bands for free since they were playing a record in-store, went to the beach (free, of course) and then went shopping so for the whole weekend all I spent was $35 on a new jacket and about $18 on various coffees and snacks. OH AND we also had a garage sale where I made $15! (My bf made $100 but I was still stoked on the $15)

Friday: $15 at CVS – toilet paper and a coke. Leftovers for dinner and no fun stuff.
Saturday: $68 at Safeway, $33 at liquor store – Pride Parade Party supplies!
Later Saturday: $20 (cash) on dinner at Haydee’s, $13 from 7-11 for 2 Gatorades and cab fare home
I SPENT NO MONEY ON SUNDAY.
Also, I have, I believe about $50 worth of beer in my fridge (where there was no beer before), as well as half a bottle of Maker’s that someone left behind, so there was a bit of a return on investment for the party supplies!

@nerd alert What’s a rent party? Does everyone cosplay as a starving artist from Alphabet City? Is there a performance-art-off?

Let’s see.
Saturday: $10ish on a card and gift for my current favorite faculty who is moving away. The total was $35 but some other people in the class gave me money and I forgot to keep track of it so my contribution is approximate.
Sunday: $17 on brunch (mimosa + crab cake benedict, half of which I saved and ate for breakfast this morning and it was still so delicious. Also it’s occurring to me just now that our server must have given us a discount, because he’s friends with the friend I was there with.)
$10 on a nice ceramic pot to plant some basil in, once I get some more dirt.

Friday: hung out with my neighbors and they gave me ice cream. FREE!
Saturday: went to the gym, made myself a smoothie, played softball, volunteered with my old roller derby team (free burritos!), and went to celebrate my friend’s birthday and another friend bought me a beer. ALL FREE!
Sunday: walked around the neighborhood yard and sidewalk sale with my parents (bought a 50 cent lemonade being sold by the neighborhood children), went to lunch with my parents (they paid), walked back through the neighborhood yard and sidewalk sale ($5 picnic cooler bag, $30 dress +tax, $26 baby outfit for baby shower), went to baby shower. about $66 total

I was feeling a little guilty about the dress, but when I add up the whole weekend, I was pretty well behaved.

Saturday:
$70 on gas. BOO! I just bought a car a month ago and I’m already sick of buying gas. But this should hopefully last me a month or so since I don’t drive that often.
Sunday
$7.50 on strawberries at a u-pick farm.
$5 on bee pollen at that same farm because someone told me it’s a good addition to juice, which I’m obsessed with.
$4 on a beer at a beer truck at the same farm.

$99.50, not bad!

Friday:
$0; I worked all day and didn’t get a chance to go anywhere to spend money, yay me!

Saturday:
$31 at Walgreens for razors and contact lens solution. I’m not sure why it was so expensive for just those 2 things.
$10 on an early dinner of nuggets and chocolate milk for me and the 4 year old I was babysitting.
$22 for much-needed drinks after babysitting.
$7 post-drinks Jimmy Johns sub.

Sunday:
$30 on brunch… overpriced, but the company and mimosas were worth it!

I guess this is where my last $100 went. But I did make $40 off babysitting, so the damages don’t seem so bad!

$8 – beer for sitting out by the pool all day Saturday
$35 – gas
$3 – father’s day card. still thinking about a gift.
$13 – pizza. will also be several lunches for this coming week.
$9 – pay-what-you-can for charity computer game bundle. I got Limbo, Braid, Amnesia, and like 5 other new computer games I haven’t played!

So $68 total. Not bad, especially since the gas should last me until I travel for the 4th of July.
