week 5

I spent a lot of money on food this week. 
BUT I HAVE A REASON FOR IT. 


For those of you who don't know, I am a closeted nerd. I love video games, sci-fi novels, complicated board games, and I looooove Lord of the Rings. My best friend and I live two doors apart, and once every few summers we throw a Lord of the Rings marathon in her basement (extended versions of course). So, thats a little over 12 hours of video footage, and the even took place yesterday. So needless to say, a lot of preparation goes into this kind of thing! We needed to have our meals planned and prepared. My friend and I had already completed the marathon twice. My boyfriend, however, was going through it for the first time. I decided that out of the goodness in my heart, I would support him by preparing for him. 
This required me to go grocery shopping. I needed enough food to feed him and I all day.
Just thought you should know, before you judge me.


Without further adieu:


$22.45 on food
$14.81 on makeup and a magazine


total : $37.26


I think I'm getting a lot better at watching myself, and keeping myself accountable. :)
I acknowledge that there are going to be weeks that I need to spend more money than others, even this next week for example, I plan on going shopping for some clothes.
So my weekly total next week will be much higher than usual.
