Eating out too much...

February 21st, 2006 at 04:02 pm

I added up a few categories to see how I'm doing so far this month. I'm right on track with gas for the car ($214/$300). I think I'll come in under for groceries - a first($367/$500), with only one more trip this weekend. The downer for the month is eating out. I only budget $100/month, and although I haven't actually added it up, I know I'm way over (about $175 so far). Ouch. I'll also be over next month, as hubby and I go to an annual fundraiser for $200, in addition to any regular eating out we'll do. Hmmm.

I'm expecting a pretty quiet week. I'm taking Friday off, so it will be a 3-day week for me. Hubby has a few dinner meetings, which will give me some time alone after the kids go to sleep. One of my goals is to see other options for selling used books besides half.com and amazon. I want to look into Swapbooks and ecampus, so if anyone has any experience with either of these, please let me know. Thanks!

    Yup, we eat out too much too. Unfortunately eating out is about the only entertainment we get since we have a 1-year-old and it's way too cold to be outside right now. So the extra money we spend at restaurants is probably worth keeping our sanity. Smile We just make sure we use coupons, ask for water, etc. etc. to keep the cost down.
