Well, rang in the new year with the kids, but did have a grown up outing with DH.
Budgeted amount $100 (Cash from bank ATM)
$40 to sitter
$40 dinner (1/2 price appetizers on Mon, split an entree, two pints) $33 dinner, $7 tip
$10 cover to bar where brother's band played
$0 to cover two pints at bar (our $11 returned to us because my parents covered tab)
$90 SPENT, $10 UNDER BUDGET!
Yay! Had to laugh remembering how much we'd spend (pre kids) to go to Chicago's cool hip places, rent a hotel room, etc. etc. Glad I'm a grown up!
That $10 is staying in Entertainment category for more fun
Happy New Year!

Wow, I never enter contests because I never win! Good for you. $15 out of pocket is far better than $100!
