How mm was the long weekend?

[blondemoment123]

Friday: $10 Zaxbys, $70 commissary, $45 Publix

Saturday: $0

Sunday: $50 Chilis, $20 Target

Not awful!

[cheezer]

We went wine tasting. The tastings were free but then H felt bad and had to buy bottles at all the places. So now we have a lot of extra wine (we already have 75+ bottles at home). However the weekend was still a lot cheaper than most travel weekends since we just drove and didn't really do any fancy meals.

We only spent money on gas and lunch Friday.

Great weekend and next to no money spent.

I don't even want to total it. Purchased furniture for our new townhouse and supplies to make it liveable plus hotel and eating out all weekend. Probably close to $5k.

$50 on beer for a party we went to
$100 on snacks for the party
$20 lunch at chipotle today

[crashgizmo]

Since I was on my own, pretty good. I think DH spent about $50 total all weekend- he was at a family funeral and stayed with a friend. Since my birthday is tomorrow, I tried really hard to go clothes shopping (which I hardly ever do). I spent a total of $235. $105 is going back.

So $180. Probably one of the cheapest weekends we've had.

Hmm--we had some good fortune to make it cheaper.

I went to the LLL store opening Friday (I actually dragged dh there) and made it 5 min before I was overwhelmed with the crowd madness. I even had a saved $50 bill from my birthday to turn into a running skirt (against every sensible mm non impulse shopping bone in my body)--so 0$ there.

Friday--$16 pizza from whole foods
$15 tank tops at ON
$15 AMAZING sports bra

Sat--$10 Lowe's, $35 groceries.

Sun--$10 watching the World Cup---except someone bought shots after every goal so it doesn't feel like a $10 afternoon out.

101$. Same as the high temp today.

Sadly, a whole lotta nothing since DH had to leave town. Living in a new town = no friends close by to hang out on a Monday. But DH promised we would "recreate" my birthday next weekend. Champagne brunch, and not sure what else.....

Well, I signed an 8k bathroom remodel agreement on Friday...

[hurricanedrunk]

We rented a cottage on a lake with friends this weekend and managed to spend less than planned, still an expensive weekend.

$ 360 our share of the cottage rental for 3 nights
$ 250 groceries, beer and supplies
$40 fireworks
$10 firewood
$25 lunch

Aw, make sure to do something special.  

I wish I could drive down to take you out!

Friday:

$130 HEB Groceries

$42 Academy M puddle jumper, H stuff for his gun

$68 for Movie and Dinner date night (theater serves dinner and drinks)

Saturday:

$300 at Ikea for a new dresser and some things for M

-$80 sold our old dresser

-$80 H sold a gun scope (he will buy a replacement just not yet)

Sunday:

$21 Rx and a few snacks

[rubytue]

I was sick most of the weekend, but still took care of a few things

Friday: $10 for house wash and $150 for fridge repair parts - both for rental house.

Sat: $48 at Home Depot. Supplies for painting the bedroom and a few clearance plants (perennials).

Sun: zero! Although we did damaged the ikea particle board bed. And they don't sell that model anymore (we have two twin storage frames - so in theory we only need to replace one). So we spent nothing, but we created a problem to spend money on. *sigh*

[cajunmom]

$100 for new fishing licenses for H and myself.
$78 gas for both of our cars.
$30 for rash guards and swimshorts for the girls b/c we forgot theirs at home.
$210 groceries (stock up on meat so it was more $$ than usual).
$70 for a new pressure washer. It would have been $80 to rent one for a day and we found one on sale that worked great.

Well we extended our weekend to Wednesday. We finally got things mostly unpacked and are finally settling in so we spent the weekend shopping for things for the house. It's been expensive.

$700 BBB - roomba since my mom took our old one.
$100 BBB - water filter, floor mats, shower caddy, etc.
$110 home depot - screws, shelving racks, dremmel for dog nails because I somehow misplaced our old one.
$80 Wal-Mart groceries
$75 liquor and wine
$70 lunch at McCormick and Schmidt

I'm not sure what else. Tomorrow we're driving my car from NC so that's going to be about $100 in gas. I wanted to tow it but it was just too much trouble. Wednesday will hopefully be a lazy day. Oh and H bought a new car. So we might take the two cars out for a joy ride.

6.5 days off...I love my job but I don't know if I want to go back now lol.
