Sunday turned into a minor spending frenzy. M. spent 21.00 at Buffalo Wild Wings watching the Browns get beat. E. spent 8.00 watching Twilight and C. spent 12.00 on a birthday present for her friend. Together, DH and I spent 85.00 at Best Buy and 55.00 at Lowes. The good news is our Christmas shopping is all done except for the Wii fit DH is ordering off Ebay tomorrow morning and a 25.00 Forever 21 order of Cami's, 2 scarves and shirt for C., E. and my cousin.
Then I have to wrap everything. I also have to put together my grandpa's present. I spent about 8.00 on a photo album for him and I am filling it with pics of all of us...all his grandkids and great-grandkids. All 5 of us!
Tomorrow is Monday and it is my "short week" at work. I work Monday and Tuesday and then I'm off for 3 days straight. My house is a mess so I am hoping to clean a lot this week.
Currently watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Pretty good.
oh! I forgot to add, Paid for Christmas 2008 ALL IN CASH. First time ever.
Total spent: $1,354
This does not represent true frugal living...I realize this. However, I have probably averaged spending between 3k and 4k on Christmas for the last several years. One of the major reasons my credit card debt is around 21k. It sickens me that I did this but I did. This is a good thing for me. Always room for improvement but I am happy with the results.
Expensive weekend
