Spendy Saturday

June 17th, 2013 at 07:12 pm

I started to write a narrative about what I did on Saturday, but I'm just not feeling it. So, I'll list it.

Household: $10 at Kohl's (finally got that tablecloth!); $16 at Verizon (new screen protector for my iphone); $4 at Meijers (cat food). Household budget is now $18 over budget.

Grocery: $13 at Family Fare (water, cherries); $27 at Meijer (celery, mushrooms, strawberries, grape tomatoes, bread, garlic bread, apples)

Entertainment/Out to Eat: $11 at the Chinese restaurant. I was going to go to Noodles for BOGO, but I finished all my errands and Noodles wouldn't open for another 40 minutes. Not worth it. So I went towards home and ended up eating Chinese after I got home and went for a run.

Car Maintenance: $57. I budgeted $100, so this area is now under budget.

Gifts: $22. Bought a pair of PJ pants for boyfriend's birthday that is coming up.

I did all my errands and was home before 11:30. I quickly changed and went for a run. After my run, I cleaned up and went and got myself Chinese. SO was out racing his dirt bike, so I had the house to myself for a while. In the mail I found two checks--one from the ex for his part of the student loan and a $10.15 survey check. Love incoming money!

I'm thinking of taking the extra money from the car, the leftover money from my clothing budget, and my amazon gift certificates to buy myself a pair of brown hiking sandals to wear to work. It looks like they are going to be around $75. I have been looking whenever I go into a store and have not found a pair that I like. I threw out the old ones that were 10 years old and needed to be retired.

Yesterday seemed to be one of those days where you don't really get anything accomplished, but wasn't relaxing either. It just happened. It just was. No spending happened and I went with SO to his hockey game.

Today is work and class. I thought I needed to go to the grocery store for some bananas, but I think I have enough fruits and veggies for my lunches for the week. I'm going to try and see if I can put off going to the grocery store as long as I can.

    Family Fare and Meijer -- do you live in Michigan? Those were the two main stores in my home town.
