Meaning the last weekend before the last week of summer vacation.
Our spending looks something like this:
Fri: $10 for admission to pool for BTS 7th Grade & Family aka Meet and Greet of the New Families
Sat: $32 dinner at Steak N Shake after dance competition in Milwaukee (kids eat free, used $1 off coupons x3 for DH and my meals and bogo on the shakes) Food $26.59 (not bad for seven) and $5 tip
Sun: $60 cash to Chicago White Sox game - my brother has seasons tickets and DH and the boys went. I sent them with two small well-stocked coolers (nachos and chips, soda, peanuts, cookies, candy bars) for the tail-gaiting portion and I bought all the boys/DH White Sox shirts and caps (at Marshalls on discount and we had two brand new caps from a few years back when my daughters danced and we walked the bases) Don't know how much of that will come home - I'm banking on nothing remaining.
$15 to see Eclipse for the girls + bffs and myself.
I have to laugh how fast we blew through the money - we usually swim for free at the Y on Fridays and watch DVDs from the library for our entertainment. On Saturdays we usually go to the kids' soccer games, etc. I think if we entertained ourselves like this all the time, we wouldn't enjoy it as much when we do these things!
Hope everyone enjoys their day!
The huge cost of the last hurrah ...
