Tough day...Round Table pizza for lunch - $21.50, and Rubio's for dinner - $13.50, then Leatherby's for dessert!! - $8
We had fun going out with family though!
I have learned that I need to plan REALLY EASY dinners for Friday and Saturday nights, because those nights are SUPER hard for me to cook.
Better luck next Saturday. :-)
$50.50 left. K, this is going to be hard. We spent half of our budget the first week, and most of that in one day. :-)
Again, it's the "entertainment" factor that's tough for me...we like to be OUT on the weekends and eating out is fun especially with friends. Anywhere else we'd go for entertainment would cost money too. So I'm just trying to figure out what amount of money I'm comfortable with spending on eating out. I really don't want to spend more than $100, but what else do we do on the weekends? And again, I think we'd be spending money anyways on anything else we'd do. I'm thinking way too much about this, but it's bothering me. Thanks for listening.

That is what's hard about have an "eating out" budget, because for us it's a form of entertainment as well. We've combined our eating out and entertainment (like if we went to a movie or something) into one item in our budget--for us, it's "dates" but for you it might be something else since your family is often part of it. It's hard to find the right amount though. I think you need to be really aware of what your spending on food and entertainment for the next three months or so, then adjust accordingly if you decide it's just not worth the limitations to only have this amount, but $25 extra would provide a lot more freedom without breaking the bank, or whatever you decide it would be.
Instead of going out with friends invite them over and make pizzas. It super easy and I make the dough while the friends bring the toppings. Super easy and fun and cheap!
