Bowled last night with one of my bosses and his wife. Other boss (they are brothers) came out with his wife and another couple friend of ours. This is easily a $40-50 night for us with dinner beforehand and drinks. Without us knowing, bosses paid our tab. We then went to a bar that closed last night. We tried to pay for our drinks, but my bosses told them whatever we ordered was on them.
Oh, also, this week is when they usually do annual raises for those of us in the office.
Eh, it was ok. Friday: $180 Comcast bill Saturday: $53 on hobby stuff Sunday: $75 groceries (included sushi at Whole Foods), $30 gasoline
The Comcast charge makes me livid. Their phone reps have now on three separate calls told us we don't owe that much and that a new bill will be mailed shortly. We have gotten new bills, but all show the same old incorrect $180 charge. It's now been two months and the rep, after agreeing that we don't owe the money, strongly encouraged us to pay it to avoid going into collections.
Well, we bought a house, but since we closed Thursday I'm not counting it for the weekend. Still, it was a very un-MM weekend.
Friday- $575 at Lowe's Friday- $2400 online at the GE friends and family store for a fridge, washer, and dryer Sat- $50 more at Lowe's for more random things, $24 on breakfast and lunch Sun- $178 car registration, $12 at the grocery store (eating from the pantry for our last week in the old house)
I bought a car and booked a trip to London. So :-#
But if you put aside those irregular expenditures, it was a cheaper weekend than typical because car shopping took so much out of us that we cancelled our dinner/drinks plans last night and got takeout Chinese and stayed in instead.
Fri: $12 at whole foods Sat: $80ish at Trader Joes, filled up my car with gas (I honestly didn't look at how much it was), $18 eyebrow wax, $24 uber ride to a fundraiser gala (pre-paid $120 for the tickets), $8 metro, $10 cab ride home Sun: $10 at giant
ETA: Sat was also $100 for the cleaning ladies (they rescheduled due to the snow on Thursday)

Another new car person here ($4,500), so not a very MM weekend! We also got lunch and dinner from out Friday, Saturday and today so definitely a big spending weekend.
Saturday $10 at McDonalds, but well worth it to let my kids run off some energy in the play place as they were climbing the walls at home and driving me crazy
Sunday $0 my mom treated me and my brother and SIL to a delicious, leisurely kid-free lunch for my birthday
Friday night we got takeout. It was cheap. I think $25 or less.
Yesterday I did not leave the house, but I booked a prepaid hotel stay.
Today I went to Target and spent $100 on diapers and cleaning supplies. I also sent my friend $16 for Girl Scout cookies that I ordered from her daughter.
Saturday: $170 Nordstroms for desperately needed new clothes. $75 at Lush for not even a little bit needed fun stuff. $50 at Lowes for home repair stuff that STILL doesn't work grrr! I'm about to tear my hair out over this stupid leaking toilet.
Friday: $16 snowsuit for C for next year at Kohl's (but I used a gift card so this was semi-MM) $72 groceries at Costco $110 groceries and random stuff at Target $17 dinner at sandwich place
Saturday: $17 pillow covers from Amazon $2 iced coffee at DD $45 groceries at TJs $26 dinner at pizza place
Sunday: $9 tortillas, toothpaste, and gum at Target
We spent a lot, but our fridge and pantry are fully stocked at least.
Friday- $75 at Costco $50 for dinner $100 on clothes for me
Saturday- $400 on a new TV, to replace the one M hit with a hockey stick. $30 for lunch $150 for a neighborhood fundraiser. We didn't have to pay the babysitter, because his mom paid him (she was supposed to come with me and had to cancel).
Sunday- $? A visit to urgent care because A sliced her toe open.
Fri - we went to dinner, a concert, and then second dinner at a diner after. The two dinners were about $110, but we got cash from the third person. Concert was prepaid, but drinks were to be had. No idea how many (not bc drunk, just not counting for both of us).
Sat - $0 used a gift certificate at the local massage school for the best massage I've had there! And the gift certificate was given as an oops when they lost my appointment awhile ago. And they can't accept tips. Score!! (it's normally $25)
Sun - $0 too much ice to go out. No online shopping.
Friday - renewed my Southern Living subscription for $19.95 (but with 40% cash back on Ebates!) stopped and got a drink on my way home from work $4.95 food for dinner $9.86
Saturday - lunch at Sonic $9.18 Wal-Mart for Excedrin Migraine and batteries $26.11
Sunday - gas for my car was about $45 drinks while out driving around $4.71 H bought a shirt at TJ Maxx ofr $10.81 Loaded my Starbucks card with $50 Booked a night for our trip to California this summer for $163.74 (and earned 5,000 United miles by using Rocket Miles)
Friday - $0, but I decided a $100 pair of jeans I had just purchased Saturday - a tank of gas, a pizza for dinner, and I went out with friends. My friend treated, so I'll have to reciprocate at some point. Sunday - $140 at Costco for groceries and work out clothes for DH, also $30 or so at another grocery store
It was MM for me and DD, not so much for DH. Friday: $0 Saturday: $92 for beer (DH). $10 lunch (DH). $8 arcade (DH). $0 for me. My mom bought DD 3 outfits at the mall and bought me lunch Sunday: $91 groceries, -$1000 of returns (clothes for DD and me)
Friday: $60 groceries $21 for dinner (we used a gift card for the rest of it) $150 at costco after dinner (groceries, dd's life jacket, all kinds of other stuff)
Satuday: $20 haircut for H
Sunday: $20 last minute groceries for dinner and cookies
All together, not bad! Friday was payday, so until our mortgage payment clears today we appear to be rich
