Friday:
$15.00 for dinner (after a giftcard) $220.00 eye exam and contact lenses for a year for me (there is a $75 rebate though)
Saturday:
$38 for water and supplies for Kickball tournament FI was playing in and I was refereeing $20 for beer and lunch at the tournament $40 at the afterparty on drinks and apps
It was an expensive weekend. My sister and I took my mom to a resort/spa in between our houses and stayed overnight as a Mother's Day Treat.
$160 for my half of the room.
$75 for my portion of dinner
$70 for spa treatment
$20 for two glasses at wine
$25 for the "resort fee"
$70 for Mother's Day lunch for the three of us.
Luckily we don't go this extravagant for mother's day every year. My grandma recently died, and we wanted to do something special for my mom this year.

Friday - nada Saturday - weekly grocery shopping $85, mother's day gifts/cards $100, new patio set $748 Sunday - home improvement supplies $40
I think we got a good deal on the patio furniture, because I was looking at some sets for $1500-2000. We ended up buying it from a grocery store and the 17ish year old guy checking me out was like "wow, that's expensive, you better use that every day". I was like, "oh, wait until you need to buy furniture".

Not great. We go out to eat a lot on weekends.
Friday- $20 supper, $15 bag of organic rat food, $1 cuttlebone for my mil's birds, $25 grocery store Saturday- $120 groceries, $12 subway, $5 coffee, $20 supper Sunday- $10 for an xbox game off kijiji, $17 booster juice, $2.30 for two mother's day cards, $70 sushi
The puppy kept me up the entire weekend, so I know in the end, my life will become more MM since I won't be able to leave him too much over the next few months.

Friday - Additional gifts for my Mom (already spent $200, but she really wanted this bracelet. I need to cut back on shopping with her) - $100 Gifts for DD's teacher - $30 Gift for my friend - $30 Chinese takeout - $20
Saturday - DH bought me Mother's Day gifts - $300 Dunkin - $6 Lunch - $14 Misc. for Baby Sprinkle - $10

Wah. I never even got groceries so that will be another $75 today.
Friday - $2.25 for a half price Frapp from Starbucks. Returned ~$50 to Target while there, so up $47.75 for the day.
Saturday - $72 on groceries, $45 on gas that will last me two weeks
Sunday - $0. I requested Mother's Day meal at home rather than braving a restaurant so DH cooked my favorite. I did get a piece of jewelry, but I assumed it was bought and paid for prior to this weekend.
Total - $119.25, but $50 back for returns, so more like $69. Not bad.
Friday: $15 for an exercise class (it was a fundraiser) $20 to go out after Saturday: $65ish on clothes and accessories at a going out of business sale $10ish for wrapping paper and batteries Sunday: $19 on drinks out with H

High in gas costs, not too much else. Dinner out Friday night with a 1 entree free coupon (~$10 dinner). I stopped by Target for a few household items, got most on sale (~$100). On Sat, DH drove ~6 hours to his brothers--taking him an extra TV we had so his brother didn't go out and spend money on a new one. He stopped by and visited his grandmother. Then Sun he drove ~8 hours total to swing by my parents on the way home and fixed my dad's computer. Free meals all around. I drove ~140 miles r/t Sat to a friends for a b-day party. Didn't spend anything the rest of the weekend.
We spent a lot. I tried to break it out but gave up.
It consisted of stocking up on groceries/hygiene, mother's day/bridal shower/wedding stuff, maint. stuff for the cars, meds, refill on makeup, and the list goes on.
