Friday $0.
Saturday grocery shopping $13, Target trip $10, lunch with myself $13.
Sunday more grocery shopping $22.40, tea with a friend $4, toiletries $6.
Total: $74.40.
Under budget, but also I did not buy any of the Christmas gifts I was planning to get and I went over my grocery budget. I had a great time by myself on Saturday, but it was a meh weekend of spending overall.

Friday I stayed home and spent 0.
Saturday was more than I planned – went with a friend shopping and got groceries ($50) and a few Xmas presents ($35 earrings and a stick blender) and lunch ($12 for two)- $97. Later that night was a movie (1000 yen) and snacks (900).
Sunday I had a test and spent a bit on food (400 yen) and train fare for the day (740) and dinner at book club (1500).
Weekend total was around $152, though I estimated around $100. I got a couple of prezzies and groceries that I wasn’t planning on, which I would have bought some time anyway, so I am fine with that.

Pretty nearly stuck to my budget for once!

Friday night stayed in and was lazy; played video games and caught up with a friend ($0)

Sat am: Took incredibly hungover boyfriend out for brunch (as planned) ($36- I forgot tip in my estimate)
afternoon– naps, movies, laziness.

Sun: Brunch leftovers for breakfast; pm grocery run ($40) and sushi ($22).

So a total of $96– over my estimate but with groceries for the week. Not bad!

UGH.

in a series of ridiculously unfortunate events that would only happen to me, as i am the unluckiest person you’ll ever meet when it comes to all things financial, this weekend cost me $1000+ in actual money plus unspecified costs to my feelings of self-worth.

Friday: $10 on beer to take to a friend’s house to play omniana which I’d never played before but you basically argue the entire time so, right up my alley.

Saturday: $10 at the farmer’s market. I will grab a couple other groceries at the store later this week. Around $20 on a pitcher of beer and some fries for a friend’s bday at the bar with pool tables.

Sunday: $70 on paint and mediums at the art store, $? on whatever my boyfriend spent on snacks at RiteAid when he realized he brought his cancelled card and borrowed mine (probly around 5 bucks).

Total: $115ish. Not bad, but not great, since I have to get more groceries still (will try to keep it around $25, but I’m going to Trader Joes so it will be hard–land of snacks!)

Spent around $80 total, mostly on going out Friday night (drinks, tickets, food after.) but it was fun! :)

Okay, so I ended up about $50 in the hole after my party, which exceeded my expectations completely!

But also, I spontaneously ordered a silly item of clothing on clearance so I ended up spending probably closer to $100 instead of the $50 I was shooting for. OH WELL. I forgive myself.

@probs Actually I do! I get my migas fix from Don Jaime in Mount Pleasant (order it with the green salsa, it’s way better than the red). Probably not the most Tex-Mex-y of migas, but super delicious.

@polka dots vs stripes There’s at least two other people who posted about going to craft fairs; I’m starting to wonder if we were all at the same one! Or if it’s just holiday-craft-fair season.
