Usually I spend $30-$60 per weekend on food (i.e., almost every meal out). But this weekend, I ate leftovers, cooked brunch, and got some food from home.
So my grand total on food? Less than $21.
I’m going to see if I can keep this up – cooking brunch with CB was fun and relaxing, and the food came out really well. The money saved is awesome as well. The only other thing I spent money on was gas. For entertainment, we watched free movies on hulu.com.
The one thing that I did splurge on was real maple syrup. $6 for a small-ish bottle… but it tastes delicious. I figured with all the money I saved by not going out to eat, I can afford some pure maple syrup goodness.

Way to go! I definitely spent a LOT more than I usually do on food this weekend (3 trips to the grocery store, lol) – but what I buy always lasts me a long time
Good luck keeping it up!
Good for you! You really are an insipration!
That sounds like a GREAT weekend! Oh and maple syrup is always worth it.
Great blog… You definitely have this saving thing down!
I have to agree with everyone else – the real maple syrup is definitely worth it.
A splurge was definitely in order! Hopefully you can make it a habit!
Right on!
