Friday Estimate

It’s Friday, which means it’s time to estimate how much we’re going to spend this weekend.
The Billfold will be running a couple of features on Labor Day, but we won’t do a check-in until Tuesday—so take that into account when you do your estimations. (Since I’m taking a vacation day on Tuesday, I won’t do my check-in until Wednesday.)
I’m guessing I’ll spend:
- $5.75 on laundry
- $60 on groceries, $15 of which will be a new bottle of Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion With Sunscreen
- $200 on Lyft rides to/from airports
- $90 on vacation food
- ??? on souvenirs/gifts (I’m not sure yet what I’m going to do about the souvenir thing, and I need to set myself a budget before I leave)
I also thought I was going to go to the mall this evening and shop the Labor Day weekend sales, but… I was looking at the sales online and decided to skip the mall part and just shop from home. I’ll itemize what I bought—and how I budgeted it—later today.
Total estimate: $355.75 plus three question marks.
How about you?
