Weekend happenings

November 13th, 2010 at 11:52 pm

We had a good week last week with hardly any money out for "wants". We have been on a bit of a spending spree since redoing dd2's bathroom and our kitchen. Lucky for us, the rooms are almost done (decorating that is).

Today I headed to the dreaded mall with dd2 and friend in tow. She needed to find a dress for the semi formal winter dance. We have given her a budget for her needs and anything above that, she will have to cover out of her money. We did find her a cute dress at Macy's though I was a bit disappointed that they wouldn't take the coupon I had....dh had found one for 15% off but it was only for sale and clearance items. I suppose if we find a coupon between now and the dance, we may make a run back there to get a price adjustment. But, in the end, it was dd's decision to get the dress. She will have to budget accordingly.

I also hit Costco (another dreaded place) for a few items.

And lastly, I paid our property taxes which are due on the 15th. Yikes....I did pay in full so there was a savings of $104. Lucky (I guess) for us, they only went up about $50 this year.

Didn't accomplish alot so far this weekend so Sunday will be a day of catching up around the house. The weather is raining and icky so it will be nice to stay in and putter around.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

    New Jersey's property taxes are insane. We are paying $8300 a year, about $2200 per quarter. Yikes!!!! I'm glad your daughter found a dress for the semi formal. Have an awesome weekend!

    Yikes. Tax increases lead to some big frustrations for lots of people, but I suppose if the increase in manageable that is a good thing. I hope that your daughter has a great time at her dance, and that you will have some insurance of finding another discount for the dress! Good luck.
