Friday Estimate

Mike is traveling this week, so I’ve got the Friday Estimate.

It’s grocery shopping time again, and after The Toast ran that article about “what you should eat if you want to be active without getting tired,” I dropped my activity and food stats into the comments and learned that I might want to try eating more protein and fewer carbs. (It’s not that I get tired on my current diet, it’s that I get a little tired and then I shove eight Wheat Thins into my mouth.)

So I made a grocery list that was all EGGS! and BEANS! and BACON! and NUTS! and I figure that is going to be a little more expensive than my usual grocery list, so I estimate $125 for the trip.

I’m going to Hello Kitty’s Supercute Friendship Festival on Sunday (for fun and for articles), and although I have already purchased my ticket, I bet I won’t be able to make it through without buying at least one SUPERCUTE THING. So… $30 on sticky-notes shaped like Sanrio characters, or whatever.

I’ll leave you with a visual representation of what my Sunday is going to be like. As to the rest of you: what are your weekend spending estimates?
