This weekend's budget cruchin'

So this weekend passed and I didn't do anything too crazy to blow my budget.

Friday night, I asked the boo if he wanted to go out and he was like, this weekend's going to be crazy (Saturday night, Yacht Party for the SPBFF's boyfriend and Sunday Wedding for two College friends) so we stayed in, used our OnDemand and watched like 3 movies. We did order take-out, but that was MUCH cheaper than a night on the town in DC. Great job T for reigning us in for the evening :)

Saturday Morning we took the metro (cheaper than gas) into the city for the Stone Soul Picnic (FREE entertainment) with my baby sister, T's good friend from Boy Scouts and his Fiance (this is the couple for the the Jamaica trip I referenced in my earlier postings) . Instead of buying the marked up vendor food, we went to Chipotle for lunch/dinner.

I did by a pair of Franko Sarto wedges for the party but they were on sale for 59.95 at DSW. And I almost bought another pair of brownish shoes for this wedding I was going to, but opted not to when I remembered I had a pair of brown peep toe shoes with a gold buckle that would match my dress and purse that I was bringing. I was VERY proud of ME :) LOL.

I also saved by staying at my parents house (2/3rd of the way closer our venue) vs. getting a hotel in the the area. AND my two girlfriends, Ferg and Halle helped out with gas!

So - I was EXTRA on the budget grind and was MOST proud of myself.

That's about all for now ;)

I need to follow your lead girlie, my idea of saving money is not eating, and that can't end well I suppose! Yay money saving!!
