I think it is the hot weather...and my lack of desire to turn the stove one...or something. I am scratching my head this morning trying to determine what has happened to my frugal brain.
We ate out TWICE this weekend. Once at Burger King on Friday...I was out and about with DD3 and we decided to take DH some dinner to work. (He had left before I got home from that mornings grocery shop and had just taken a few hot dogs, no buns for dinner---yuck) So, we got his dinner, and DD3 was hungry so she got something as well. $9.50---
Then, DD2 called and asked if Id keep GS overnight...so I went and picked him up...and he hadnt ate yet (geeze, it was now 7:30pm and I was hungry too)...so another $9+ pop into burger king...YIKES.
Then, last night we ended up by Little Ceasars and decided on pizza instead of cooking when we got home (DH and I were both starved as it had been a very busy day and we hdnt ate)...another $12...
long story short, ended up taking the pizza to DD2s and playing cards...and picking up some margarita makings as well...another $24...
Ok, all sins confessed...and I can start climbing out of this financial hole that I dug this weekend.
Like I said, until my next good excuse, Ill blame it on the heat.
Not so Frugal Weekend

I know how it is not wanting to cook in this heat. I'm trying to save money by not using my AC, and I have to fire up that infernal device to make my food, heating the entire kitchen to 80 degrees. I've taken to doing all my cooking late at night and just storing stuff in tupperware to heat in the microwave.
