Budgeting: Receipts, Week Two

A week's worth of food receipts for Boyfriend and your MatchGirl.

We tried to keep it in check, buying on special at Associated and making use of our pantry items. Missing from the receipts: iced coffee ($3), Friday and two ($6) for Saturday. Also food on the road - egg and cheese for me and breakfast burrito and coffee for Boyfriend ($11) on Saturday.

Weekend Fun: Renegade Craft Fair

This weekend, gentle readers, is the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn. Sure, there are about four million people selling screen-printed T-shirts (I'll probably buy a couple), but it's always so fun to walk around and see what else there is. Last year I took my friend Leroy (he's a dachshund) and  I got a really cute walltet and a little handbag (that I carry so often I can't believe I've only owned it a year) and, of course, the requisite T-shirts.

Shopping Trip: Ikea

Even though Boyfriend and I haven't found a new place yet (seriously, if you know of one in Greenpoint for April 1, hook a girl up!) we decided to go on a reconnaissance mission to Ikea.

On a Saturday.
