My friend set me up with a ticket to a screening for the new George Clooney movie "Michael Clayton". So - I got to go see a movie for $.75 (the cost of the refill of Coke). That's the BEST!! It was a good movie. Pretty slow at times but it picked up speed at the end. It wasn't my favorite movie, but I was entertained for a couple of hours. Plus, I got to have a girl's night out, which is always good!
Okay - I just had a girl's night out on Friday night as well. We all went bowling and I laughed SO hard. I'd say that it was money well spent out of the "happy budget". I just named my babysitting money...what do you think? It's used mostly for clothes, but once in a while I spend it on some other 'feel good' thing. Jewelry, bowling, haircut (one day)....whatever. I LOVE shopping and my new love affair with shoes is manageable but sometimes hard to control. I could easily blow the whole paycheck on some fabulous shoes. But then it might look pretty stupid with my old worn out jeans.
Ahhh...the jeans. Per my hubby's request, I went shopping for a pair of nice jeans......I'm so naive. I had no idea that real people (who don't make $20 million a year) spend $260 on a pair of jeans. We went shopping and the first store that we went into had a pair of jeans for $160. WAY over my budget. So I picked up another pair....$260!!! I know my usual $20 for a pair of jeans might be frugal, but TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY DOLLARS?!?!?!? That's just crazy talk. Anyway - I "settled" for a pair of nice Calvin Klein's and I must admit that I love them. I'll have to go jeans shopping again in November and I think I'll get me another nice pair...but I'll have to keep it under $100. I'm so cheap....
