I didn't eat lunch out this week.at work at all. Only had dinner out once. I basically didn't spend money other than milk and bananas that I forgot to get over the weekend.
The only time I ate out this week was dessert last night because a friend treated me. I brought lunch every day this week. Yay! I went out and bought some cold weather clothes for A since the weather is about to get cooler. And a few groceries for myself. I also bought $5 of yarn for my sister to make me some arm warmers. I am excited for those. I am taking some money for the renfaire this weekend. I am expecting to spend about $10-15 on food and drink, and I want to try and get an additional $15 together to ride the rickshaw.

I'm working on allowing myself a set "spending amount" from each check (I get paid twice a month). So I withdrew the money on the 1st and I get paid again on the 15th. I only have $60 left to last me the next week. And I have a lot of things I want to do this weekend. I have $207 for gas and groceries though for the next week so I might be able to squeeze an extra $20 out of that. Or return the $35 in clothes I bought at Target last week. But I'm glad that I am sticking to my budget instead of just writing it on paper.

Uh. Not good. I moved last weekend/the beginning of this week, and needed way more random crap than you would think (new broom anyone?). Hopefully next week I can get back into the groove, because this week nearly killed me.

I didn't do so well this week. I ate lunch and dinner out almost every day :-( We didn't get any groceries this week at all, so I guess it kinda sorta maybe evens out a little. Maybe? Probably not. I also have a hair appointment Sunday which won't be cheap, but it's my first hair cut since May. Also wanting to buy a new dress for my 30th next weekend.
In short, not doing well with spending this week!!
I had a good week! Mostly because I was too tired to go to the mall and look at all the new fall clothes. Laziness is a virtue in at least one respect I guess.
