Weekend update . . .

November 13th, 2005 at 08:51 pm

Not much going on this weekend, yesterday was a no spend day Smile That's two in a row, mainly just 'cause I was lazy and read my book Wink

We have plans to head to Costco later today, so we'll see how that goes. We've made a list, and generally are pretty good at sticking to it, but we need a few things that are going to be a bit more expensive.

I'll also check and see if there's anything for Christmas gifts. I should have a pretty inexpensive Christmas, although I don't know what I'm going to get for my boyfriend yet. Extended family is getting cards, which is the norm in my family. We generally get together around the holidays, but since all the cousins are grown and only a couple of my cousins have young kids most presents are small. I'm actually not going to be able to see my family this holiday season. I couldn't get both Thanksgiving and Christmas off from work, and we're planning on heading to my boyfriend's family for Christmas - it's their turn, we're all about rotating that kind of thing Smile That means that we'll have to find something for his parents and sister, which could be interesting.

edit:

Back from Costco, umm yeah. We stuck to our list (except for buying some frozen shrimp), but Coscto runs always seem so large. Afterwards I always have to remind myself that I'll only need to do minimal perishable type grocery shopping for at least 3 weeks or so - and we have basics like pasta/cheese/baking goods that will last much longer. Since there's two of us, we always are very careful with buying in bulk . . . We can only eat so much food. So, we primarily stocked up on non-perishables and things that we could freeze or use quickly.

spending:

$145 groceries at Costco
$13.58 cigarettes

$91.42 left in budget or $8.31 per day (til 11/25)
