Weekend wrap up

November 7th, 2005 at 06:13 am

Overall I had a nice weekend. Saturday night my boyfriend and I decided to go out to dinner. We planned on going to the Pho place (Vietnamese noodle soup, really good and inexpensive), but of course we were dorks and went after they had closed. Instead we walked to the Thai restaurant a couple blocks away. It ended up being at least double what we would normally spend at Pho, but we both had leftovers for lunch today.

I made quiche today, but as I was getting ready to fill them I realized I didn't have enough eggs. So, another grocery store trip. It actually worked out alright since I didn't realize we were getting low on some other things too (coffee, milk, basics like that). The quiche turned out great, and will be dinner for the next couple days.

I don't know if I just haven't noticed before, but it seems like coffee bean prices have gone up. Although, I haven't bought coffee in a while since we've been working on a big bag from Costco. We grind our own, and generally get the less expensive brands. Even Millstone was 10.50 a pound! Normally it's more in the 7 or 8 dollar range. I got the store brand, which is fine since we've had this particular store brand before, but sheesh! Even the store brand was 7.50/lb.

Spending:

$33.27 dinner out
$11.52 cigarettes
$18.75 grocery store

$36.79 left in budget til 11/10 ($10.20 per day)

    Have you tried this trick with the coffee - you buy a 1lb of generic and 1lb of your favorite, then when you brew you add a 1tbsp of the good stuff and the rest generic.

    FYI - love pho, especially this time of year.
