Pretty good, fun weekend. Most everything was planned, and the unplanned expenses were all out of "fun" money. We are trying to be good because we are saving up to waste lots of $$ on our Hawaii vaca.
I've been making a ton of online purchases to ship to my US address in anticipation of my trip there later this month. It's kind of MM because I am still spending less than I would on the same or similar items in France.
Instead of focusing on how much I spent, I'd rather focus on how much I saved v. prices in Euros. The Tory Burch shoes alone would have cost me 190 euros here (at 1.3 exchange rate, well over $200) and ended up being about $134 plus free shipping because I combined my order with a friend.
I also got one of DD's Christmas presents for $21, with an online coupon, v. the retail price here of 40 Euros. Mattel's prices are really inflated on this side of the Atlantic.
Friday: $75 at opthamologist, $60 on a hair cut Saturday: $200 at Ikea on organizing stuff Sunday: $8 on craft fair admission, $30 on soaps, $18 on a scarf, $10 on a leather pouch, and $12 on lunch at the fair. Plus $14 at the grocery store.
Friday Date: ~$50 for dinner & movie + $7 at the farm stand Saturday: $7 Whole foods, $25 garage sale (got a huge bin of little people stuff, probably $200 worth) Sunday: Grocery store, $99.
Friday: $11 at Wawa Saturday: $25 for a Christmas present for DH, $11 for 2 Christmas ornaments, $16 on pizza, $2 2 bottles of water at a street fair. Sunday: $46 for our share of dinner out with a friend. $111 total.
