Weekend Spending Forcast

Posted by with 6 comments
Today is Friday...and the first day of my vacation! Sweet!

Today we're going to go do some...shopping!! My mom gave me $200 in gift cards to reitmans to buy some new clothes (thanks Mom!!) - so we're going to head to the Reitman's Outlet, so hopefully that $$ goes a little bit further.

We also have to go to the vets (I have to find an equine vet in this city first), to pick up the vaccinations I'll need for Starlight. She'll be here in 4 more days!!

I'll probably have to spend about $75 on vaccinations (I already bought the de-wormer somewhere else). I'll be giving her the shots myself, so that will save me about as much as the vaccines cost themselves. I haven't given her shots for a few years, but I'm sure it will be fine. Like riding a bike, not something you easily forget how to do.

We also have to do some grocery shopping today, not sure if that will fall to me or Jordan - but we'll figure it out. I have about $40ish left for groceries so I can pick up a few things.

I also want to go to the Hertiage park this weekend, or some other touristy thing - that won't be today, but sometime this weekend.

Well, that's about it - it'll be a spendy weekend. Hopefully my gift cards, jars, and whatnot prevent me from using that credit card.

Here's hopen i've planned well.

    "gimme gremlins!" LOL!

    I think it's cute that your mom reads your blog. I have often thought of sending my mom my link as well. I am sure she would have sound advice to give me! :)

    Have a great weekend!
