So I've been really really trying not to spend any of my fun money lately, so I have something saved for our slew of visitors starting in about a month.

I went a little crazy this past weekend. Friday I bought Chipotle for the family for dinner ($21.60), Sunday I spent $34 on drinks and food at a festival and $8 on a temporary tattoo for AA, and yesterday I bought a box of wine for $16.53. Phew!

I'm trying to get back on the frugal wagon. At least buying food while at work hasn't been a temptation -- until today, when I forgot my lunch while dropping the kids at daycare. (At least I Facebooked the daycare lady so she'd put it in her fridge and I can have it tomorrow!)

I had $6 cash in my wallet, so I thought I'd try and be strategic and keep breakfast and lunch under that. I stopped at a convenience store and bought a container of cereal ($1.50) and a pack of peanut butter crackers (55 cents). I had 2 cents in my purse and took three from the take-a-penny tray, so I only spent $2.02 on breakfast!

For lunch I figured I'd feast on Taco Bell for about the same price (2 bean burritos at 99 cents each). Unfortunately, the nearest location has closed! I had a new co-worker tagging along and didn't want to drag her around looking for another $2 lunch option, so I went to Au Bon Pain right next door. My sandwich was $6.97 and I only had $4 left in cash, so had to use my card. (Sandwich tasted meh, but much healthier than Taco Bell would have been.) Oh well. I did find a penny on the way back to work!

I still have $900 of fun money that will have accumulated if I don't spend any more between now and the end of August. Of course I *will* spend some, but hopefully I can keep it to a minimum and still have a lot left for hanging out with our visitors.
