How MM was your long weekend?

[Roc A Bee]

If we don't count what I spent on Thursday, I'll be doing pretty good! What did you spend this long weekend?

I spent about $200 at Athleta between Friday (when I bought one outfit) and today (when I went back to get my 20% discount price adjustment and picked up a second outfit since it was on sale!). That's my birthday present from DH. My only other spending was $5 on a snack from Panera after DD #1s fun run Friday morning, and about $15 in groceries yesterday morning.

Wednesday: $45 groceries, $15 on dinner
Thursday: $37 Amazon, $80 Personal Creations, $63 Old Navy, $27 Kohls, $106 Amazon, $35 Tillys

$541, but all my Christmas shopping will be done!

On Saturday I spent $21 at a gourmet food store on snacks for our Saturday evening guests. Today I spent $78 on groceries. Pretty good for us... I didn't even hit up any good sales on Thursday or Friday. We're buying a car this coming weekend and I think I'm hoarding money.

[ssmjlm]

I don't want to add it up, but it included $600 for a leather glider/recliner for the nursery (and will eventually go into the living room), $120 for a keurig, $150 at Boden today and a few other odds and ends.

[Deleted]

Well, DH worked Thursday & Friday and I worked Saturday & Sunday. So I'd say we made more money than we spent.

[hulley]

OMG, I shouldn't even think of it. Plus side - all my Christmas shopping is done with the exception of a pair of corduroy pants for H. (couldn't find them this weekend)

Thanksgiving dinner - $100
Christmas shopping (too many stores to itemize) - appx $500
Groceries: $60
Lunch (met up with H while we were both out shopping): $10 (used GC for the rest)
Booked summer vacation (black Friday special 40% off): $780

Wow. I'm going on a spending freeze this week.

[audette]

Not very. We've been doing organizing and sorting on the house, and decided to get out of the house to goggle at Ikea.

And picked up some flat-pack not-yet-assembled bookshelves to take with us on the move. All our furniture is going into storage, and we will be getting loaner furniture. But, the loaner shelves are more like curio cabinets, instead of being real shelves. So we bought some billy bookshelves to take with, and are leaving them in their flatpack boxed until we get there, because they are more likely to survive cross-pacific transit this way.

[bluejen22]

Not very MM for me!

Wednesday- $43 Happy hour @ the bar for me, husband and his friend, $95 Amazon- router/dvd
Thursday- $38 on flowers for MIL for Thanksgiving, $70 Amazon
Friday- Amazon- $97
Saturday- Groceries- $45, Amazon $213
Sunday- Bed Bath and Beyond- $50, Gas- $40, Texas Roadhouse- $45
Roughly $736, but it could have been worse.

[bluejen22]

And $15 Crate and Barrel online.

[Pilsy]

We went to visit my family, and my mom insisted on buying the few things I picked out at Target and stuffed a $100 bill in my hand before we left! Other than gas, I don't think we spent a dime all weekend. I'm going to tell DH this is another reason we need to visit my family more often.

[pugz]

OMG let's not talk about this, lol

[Norticprincess]

I have no clue what DH spent online Friday morning

Amazon $95. My sister's birthday present and dog food storage bin (I'm watching get farther away on the shipment tracking vs closer)
Microsoft store $703 (MS Surface and two Kinect games)
Walmart online $43 because Amazon jacked up the price on the trackball mouse my dad wants
Dive shop $725 (I saved $456.80 plus tax due to specials- on DH's cc so I don't have to think about it)
Lunch Saturday $30
Meat market $25

[Deleted]

[hellonurse]

I have no idea, and I think I'd like to keep it that way. haha. Way too much online shopping done this weekend!

[galaxy8227]

A lot more than I'd like to admit--but it's Christmas Club money so it wasn't planned for--still hard to see all those high numbers though

[Deleted]

We did pretty good.

Thursday: $0

Friday: 2 sets of Trumpette baby socks (12 pair/set) from a going-out-of-business sale in a cute little rural gift shop where my parents live: $22 (70% off $36/set)

Saturday: $20 at Target for a shirt for DH and snacks to bring to a friend's house for the UGA game
$25 on $125 worth of stuff ($60 of fabric from my favorite fabric shop; $25 on a day of daycare and a bath for the dog; $40 on a vegan bakery cake) from small businesses thanks to AmEx Small Business Saturday and a ScoutMob coupon for the fabric

Sunday: $0

So, we spent $67 on $217 worth of stuff.

[savannah11]

Heh. We bought a refrigerator, sectional, sofa, chair, 2 pairs of jeans, and Christmas decorations. We kept joking that our motto for the weekend was: Spend all the money!

[statlerwaldorf]

DD and I are both sick which has kept me home instead of out shopping.

Thursday- Gas station- $57
Walmart.com- $10 Disney's Brave dvd and blu ray combo

Friday- Walmart.com- $7 4 dvds

Saturday- Kohls.com- $85 A full size bed-in-a-bag and twin size bed-in-a-bag plus $15 Kohls cash
Walmart.com-$50 Batteries, LeapPad adapter, and 2 sets of 690 piece Lego sets
Lowes- $10 A poinsettia and batteries

Sunday- Walmart.com- $7 Rubbermaid containers
Amazon- $3 2 dvds for DH
Childrensplace.com- $4 for a headband

Total: $233

I'm debating ordering monogrammed towels from RalphLauren.com and will be making another Kohls purchase tomorrow when I can use my Kohls cash.

[mrs.spunky]

It wasn't too bad.

I bought about $200 in Christmas presents for DH and about $130 in clothes for me (for DH to wrap and give me for Christmas) on Friday.

DH and I went out to dinner on Friday and spent $32.

We spent $0 yesterday and $0 today.

I was thinking the same thing :-(

The one bright spot is we did not buy a new truck. And discovered we can actually get a newer, smaller pickup for what we need (massive towing capacity). We had resigned ourselves to trading in a 2003 w/ 85k miles for similar age and mileage, but more towing.

[krystee]

I spent over $200 at Kohl's, $200 at Amazon, $40 at World Market, $15 at Ulta, $80 at Target, $100 at Walmart, $18 on Etsy, and a zillion dollars at restaurants. And H just spent $170 at Kate Spade on my Christmas gift. I feel sick.

[pugz]

let's just focus on how much cashback I got on ebates, lol. Over $100 thanks to huge sales and referral bonuses!

[rikki]

For some reason my Chase login isn't working. I think it is because they know that I will have a heart attack and die when I see my balances. I'll pay them all off right away, but they're definitely going to be high. I got a bunch of stuff that I have wanted for some time at good prices though.

[Brie]

Not so much.

Off the top of my head, nothing Thursday or Friday.

Saturday:
Sephora (Christmas gift): $50
Pedicure: $27
H haircut: $30
Chipotle: $15

Sunday:
Gap (Christmas gift): $60
Target: $41
Church offering: $50
Crate and Barrel (new dining set!): $1600

So not at all MM. But I'm getting lots of ebates cash back from the Gap, Sephora, and C&B purchases at least.

And we've been eyeing a new dining set for awhile. We are hosting two Christmas dinners so we might as well find a place to put people. It was 15% off this weekend so we pulled the trigger.

Haha, we are getting $48 back from our table purchase alone. I heart ebates.

[carfar]

Omg I think I need to not speak of this, or it will become too real.
