Happy New Year!

January 1st, 2008 at 08:34 pm

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

    You did well. My parents had mu kids for the night. Last week I WON and overnight stay at a nice hotel near downtown from a local radio station. We ate dinner before heading over and I used a restaurant gift card I received for Christmas. We had a free bottle of Champagne from the hotel in our room. Here was our total:

    Room $0 (tax was included)
    Food $22.00 (used $25 gift card) so this was $0
    Parking $10
    Breakfast $5.20

    Total Spent: $15.20 out of pocket

    That is how I like to start a New Year!!

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