Monday Check-in

Good morning! Let’s check in.

On Saturday I picked up some nice loaves of bread and baguettes ($20) at a French bakery to bring with me to the champagne tasting ($60) I attended where some friends and I tasted some nice bottles retailing from $40 to $160 (the expensive bottle being a 2004 Dom Perignon, which was very good). In case any one cares, the Dom was good but the champagne we liked the most was the 2000 Charles Heidsieck, which retails at wine shops for $80-$90 and would be great for any special occasion, or would make for a nice gift. After the tasting, a few of us went to a bar for a nightcap ($15). I also spent $26 on groceries. My estimate for the weekend was $150 and I spent $121.

How were your weekends?
