Getting closer and closer to the end this Friday. Again my apologies for missing a few posts over the weekend as I was away from a computer, and then just before returning home from Carin’s house Sunday evening I sliced open my thumb (we won’t get into how) so I didn’t really feel like sitting down and blogging.

I have finally spent more money! But probably not how you might think. No, I have not ventured back to the grocery store. Rather, I have been splurging a little as I had quite a bit (almost 50%) of the budget left. Friday I bought a hot chocolate from Dunkin Donuts (it was the coldest day in New York City in 2 years), and yesterday I bought lunch from Loud Lady (infamous chinese food place by work known for the screaming of its owner at her workers). I don’t have the exact receipts on me, although I should at home, but I guesstimate that when adding these two items to the funds that were spent back at the beginning at the grocery store that the total would be roughly $23, give or take a bit. I don’t know if I’m going to spend anything today. But should I decide to get lunch, I know that I have at least $5 to spend, then I would have to tally up a total and see where I stand.

Getting closer and closer, only 3 days left after today. For those just tuning in or for those who haven’t been keeping track, the experiment ends Friday at around 7pm. More updates to come!
