This is the last night my cousin will be with us. She’ll leave sometime tomorrow while I’m at work. This should mean that our grocery spending (all spending really) should start going down next month when there are only 2 of us to feed and take to activities.
However, we have some vacation time coming up – my mom is coming to visit for a week, my father is coming for another week, we’ll be headed to Roller Derby Regionals, I’ll be going to a friend’s wedding, and then there’s Geek Girl Con.
That takes us from the week of Aug 29 through the second weekend in October. So there’s going to be a lot of inconsistency in the spending over the next 6 weeks or so.
Then, come November, our good friend is going to become our roommate again. He’ll pay rent and help with the groceries, but it will require a new juggle of the budget.
