We also had to buy a bunch of cleaning supplies. But at least groceries were cheap because DH is traveling half the week and then I'm traveling the other half.

Could be worse but not great
Friday: $50 on junk food at the grocery store :/ That's what I get for going to the store hungry (I only actually needed one thing) Saturday: $30 on lunch, $25 for ice cream cake and ice cream at DQ, $58 for dinner Today: $0...haven't left the house and spent all day cleaning.
Saturday: $90 on a new purse (on sale from $150, yay), treated my mom to Starbucks $8
Sunday: $12 brunch with friends
I'm not sure what DH spent at home. He said he bought a hose and I left him in charge of grocery shopping.
It was MM though because I'm flying home with two suitcases of baby stuff, both gifts and nice hand-me-downs. We can already clothe this kid for the first year practically!
Well, we spent a bunch of money, but it was well spent and budgeted for and everything we wanted was on sale so we kinda jumped on it.
Friday - $0 Saturday - $175 on a gazebo/sun shelter - $25 solar lights - $165 patio stones - $60 fire pit - $40 date night Sunday - $30 outdoor end table / cooler
Friday: cheese, crackers and wine from TJs $60 pizza, tortilla chips, Cascade, regular chip, buns, towels from Costco FREE using our Costco rewards (so sad at how much we spent there in the last year) Saturday: groceries $120 Sunday: ice for cookout today $5
Not bad. It's a short week for us this week because we're beachbound on Friday. I cannot wait.

Very MM weekend for us! We just moved to a joint budget and are working on eating out a lot less, it's been going great and been saving a ton more. Next weekend won't be so MM though when we are visiting friends in NC

Friday: $45ish on gas (1st fill up the entire month, though!), $30ish at the pharmacy Saturday: $15 starbucks, $20 pharmacy, $20 take out dinner Sunday: $20 pharmacy (neti pot & Sudafed), $20 take out lunch
This was a relatively cheap weekend for us b/c we didn't go to the bar!
Eh. About $50 on Friday for dinner and a birthday gift, $20 yesterday on Starbucks and dinner. And $125 on groceries today. The lack of groceries necessitated the two dinners, so we should be set for the next week or so.
Friday: $12 for dinner Saturday: $35 for groceries $20 for booze dh bought some stuff we needed from Home Depot - I think he spent around $40 Sunday: $0
Total $107
Friday could have been worse but all the nicer restuarants in our town were packed b/c there's an event at the university in the next town over and we finally just gave up and got Subway.
Friday - we went to buy kayaks. Two kayaks from two different stores. Lets just say the $$ charge at store #1 followed by a $$ charge to REI 30 mins later meant my cc was rejected at REI. So embarrassing. And frustrating. Can't a girl drop slightly over a grand at a time?!
I went to target today for shampoo and washing soda. Plus we ordered pizza for dinner. So, the rest of the weekend was normal.
Tried to keep things MM since we'll be traveling next weekend, and this month has already been a big spender month.. that didn't totally work out since we had a couple unusual purchases. Friday: -$236 on wedding dress preservation (waited 6 months to do this!) - $200 on Facebook stock (DH's idea, we'll see how it works out)
Saturday: - $7 at Jimmy John's - $50 at Home Depot for pipe fixing supplies (leak in our kitchen needed to be fixed) - $3 at a garage sale on random crap DH wanted
Friday: $53 for gas, $40 at Wal-Mart, $57 for gardening supplies, $33 for DH's golf, $3 for the Proboards app, $60 for dinner w/ DH and my Mom Saturday: $30 for lunch out, $35 for DH's golf, $140 for groceries, $15 at Target Sunday: $25 for pizza, $7 to get a new key made
