Getting Ready

August 5th, 2021 at 06:22 am

After I went to the gym today, I stopped in at Sam's to get something to take to my brother's house this weekend.  It will be a full house there, as my son's family is coming, too, so I got some La Croix sparkling water, Bacardi cocktails, pistachios, and pub mix.  Party food!  It cost me $45.  Then I went to Jewel to buy some items I can't get at Aldi, and that cost $32.  Variables are now at 20%, only five days into the month.   Oh well.

I have quite a bit of perishable food in the fridge, so I'll have to deal with that before I leave.  Most of it I can cook and freeze.  I'm not going to be gone that long, but it's all at the point where something needs to be done or it will go bad.

Hot and humid again, so the air is on.  It seems like it is not going to be a frugal month.

    Enjoy your weekend with your family! Maybe once you’re back you can have a few NSDs to keep the budget on track.

    Party food sounds fun. What a great summer weekend. We're at the "eat these strange things together" point in our UK trip preparation. I may end up eating roasted beets for breakfast one of these days!
