$25 Challenge - From the Notebook: T minus 1 day

I took a longer lunch to head to Aldi and get some of my things. It's not complete but it's a good start. The receipt totals to $17.69 which I thought was very good until I realized I didn't get spaghetti (got the sauce) and the cashier didn't ring up the eggs. Good price wise, but one can't rely on good foutune (lol $1.35 is good fortune) so it's got to be counted. This makes a total of $19.04 with a $5-6 leway for anything I'd like to add for spices/treats and yes, even the spaghetti.

I just got back from my parent's house after a large meal from Angelico's. We spent more on this meal than our budget for the next week on wine, entree and dessert. It can become easy to rampt up a bill as I catch up with my mother on the latest. $55 to be exact- on special.

No fine dining tomorrow, that's for sure.
