Between buying flights for DH' birthday this coming summer ($600), tax payments clearing our account ($$$$), and stocking up on booze and meat on our grocery run ($284), our bank accounts are hurting right now. Oh, and local baseball tickets for $100, and dinner with friends ($100). Awful weekend $-wise.

Pretty good but it's because we are still working on our kitchen pantry and all the supplies were bought last weekend.
$29 for Chinese last night $40 at JC Penney on Friday, but I got 3 sweaters and a blouse, so I was stoked $35ish at Home Depot for some miscellaneous things that we needed for the pantry $35 at Amazon for shampoo and new undershirts for DH
My H bought me a le creuset cast iron skillet and then we bought a third car today. We need to reign the spending in. We were on a semi tight budget when I was working and now we are going a little crazy. Lol

We went camping in our favorite town. It was super cheap. $50 for gas, $80 for food. But we did find a house along the river on 20 acres that is completely private. It's the type of house we have always talked about retiring in. So now we are contemplating that. It's crazy expensive and the only way we could do it is by using it as a vacation rental full time for a few years.

Well--
Friday was $4 on milk Sat--$10 breakfast, $1000000000 on shots of tequila/beer/rodeo fun day, $30 on 7 pm hangover pizza (you do he math on the timing.) Sunday--$70 half marathon registration, $20 impulse purchase of cross body bag on eBay.
Two of these purchases are truly awesome (breakfast burritos and hm registration.)
Friday- $15 dinner with a friend; $10 tacos and drinks for a midnight snack with bf Saturday- $9 dinner Sunday- $28 plants, $3 iced coffee, $65 groceries, $3 frappe
Friday: $300 - between parts and labor for regular maintenance on the Accord. $8 - pizza $12 - airport parking $27 - gas
Saturday: $22? - groceries $28 - Sephora. I've fallen into the MM Sephora trap. I only went in because there was something I wanted that is exclusive to Sephora, then I saw all the shiny things. $15 - express. I had a $10 rewards and got 2 tank tops and a shirt on clearance. I kept one tank top and gave the others to my sister. $3 electric charge for the leaf.
Sunday: $0 - lazy days are cheap
Total: $415 eek why did I add that up?
I think we're going to have another $1k+/- in repairs for the Accord. Poor car is getting old and throwing some weird codes. Hopefully it's nothing. Also we need to decide to if we want to replace the O2 sensors or not. $300 to save 2-3mgp. I figured out that it would take maybe 2 years to break even. We might be giving the car to my sister next year when she turns 16 so I don't know if I want to waste money on something that doesn't really affect the car. Decisions decisions...
Friday Night- Pizza delivery with tip $27 Saturday- Haircuts $38, Lowe's $4, Beer $14, CVS $9 and Groceries $28. Lunch and Dinner, plus Left overs $48 Sunday- $0 My mom gave Mr. P a chainsaw for his birthday so we were able to take care of a downed tree ourselves. I also found a drain cover in the road (not near anyone else's house to replace our yard's lost cover that washed away Friday morning during the storm, so saved $20
Friday-$45 groceries, $24 target, $20 once upon a child, $60 E's birthday cake Saturday-$? on munchkins for E's party (DH picked up), $6 pizza after coupon Sunday-$0

It was good overall.
Friday $8 on groceries Saturday $10 for pizza for a friend, me, and our 2 boys (we split the cost) Sunday was $22 gas, $7 for breakfast, $3 for popcorn at a festival, and -$10 for money a friend paid me back
Friday: $130 hotel, $0 Uber to wine tasting (we had a coupon code) $1.15 tax back to the hotel after the wine tasting (The wine tasting paid the first $10 of any ride) (Wine tasting tix were $100 but we bought them in January.) Saturday - $37 mani/pedi, $70 dinner Sunday $225 groceries (our groceries have gone up almost $100 recently, I have to see if we are buying more or if it's just prices)
It could have been better, and certainly worse Friday: $0, we made pizza at home and watched the Rangers game Saturday: I spent $0, DH spent maybe $40 while out with his friend and DD. Sunday: $200 at Target, half of which was formula for DD and $23 at the grocery store.
Friday: $10 on a Groupon for pizza (BF also spent about $10 on the rest of the pizza) Saturday: $20 on some flowers and a card for my friend who I visited in the hospital, and about $95 on groceries. Sunday: Nothing, I didn't leave the house.
Let's pretend I didn't spend almost 1k last week on booking plane tickets and airBNB reservations for our trip in July, ok?
I went out of town for a girls weekend/half marathon:
Friday: Gas ($25), Lunch ($15), Dinner ($20), Race necessities ($10) Saturday: Lunch ($25), Dinner ($35), Bottle of wine ($9) Uber (~$25 total for the day; my friends will reimburse me) Sunday: Breakfast ($15), Gas ($25) and the hotel was charged to my card ($650 for the weekend + parking for 2 cars). They're reimbursing me for the hotel & Ubers.
This isn't counting what my husband spent while he was home alone. Last weekend was our anniversary & a trip to GA for a wedding; this weekend, he's going out of town on a guys trip. This month is expensive.
