We went to Iowa this weekend to visit family and celebrate our nephew’s baptism. And we had a very frugal weekend! All told we spent $20 on a gift, $20 on food and $33 on gas for the trip. Lodging was free (air mattresses at their house) and most meals were courtesy of Chuck’s parents or sister. We only purchased $20 of food on the road.
Usually when we go out of town the dog stays at Chuck’s parent’s house but since we were all celebrating together, they weren’t home either. That upped the cost of the weekend and was not a charge I had budgeted for, an oversight on my part. Tonight I’ll be updating our August budget and will get a better feel for where we are this month. I suspect this may have put us over in the discretionary category. Whoops! We’ll have to be more careful in September.
