@Gina – HAH! That is awesome. I looooooove me some Micky Dee’s Monopoly! And had you won something big it would have been moved into your BEST purchase of the week ;)
@Stephanie – That’s pretty good if you only shelled out money 3 times last week – way to go!
@m1nts – I like it! $3,000 is still $3,000 so def. sucky. Glad to hear y’all are prioritizing it! :)
@Emily @ evolvingPF – Nice job Husband! A great surprise indeed :) And awesome y’all tithe too – we’re not so good at that :( Though I am much better at giving back than I was a few years ago which is something.
@Sarah – Go son!!! I hope they won the game – that’s awesome! (Though coming from someone w/ a mohawk I’m a bit biased ofcourse ;)) And also agree that quality family time like that is ALWAYS worth it.
@Renee S – Well nice job snagging that great date! Let’s hope there’s a 2nd and 3rd one too, eh? :)
@Trinnie – Yikes! I’m glad it wasn’t a big surprise though so you weren’t shocked or in denial or something :( Still sucky though. Bone up on that knowledge and work your way out of it my dear! :)
@Emmy – Congrats!!! One less c/c in the world is a nice feeling ;) You can do a happy dance in your Hufflepuff tie, haha…
@Jennlandia – I love Tuesday Morning!! And probably good there isn’t one around me, haha… TJ Maxx is enough of an addiction ;)
@Philip – You should be most proud of that Refi expense! Congrats :) Ours was like $5,000 when we did it last year, but our damn mortgage is pretty freakin’ high too… the only (and biggest) issue in our finances, ugh.
@Dave H – Dang, you guys rocked it this week! Congrats on the new home! That’s always exciting :)
@Beckey & Jeff – We treated ourselves to non-home-made coffee too this week ;) Back when I worked at a “real” job I’d do it every morning though, so I’m pretty proud of ourselves now. Though, to be fair, I also rarely leave the house Mon-Fri, haha…
@Jen – Oh no! Was the food still salvagable, or did you end up losing all that too? That blows, I’m sorry :( Yay for the movie and c/c pay off though – that FAR beats out the McDonald’s run ;)
@Sarah H. – WOW that’s a lot of money. Pretty cool you get to attend galas though! Are you allowed to share what you do? Haha…
@Slackerjo – I’m impressed by all you library people – I just can’t bring myself to do it :) If there’s a book or mag I want, I always buy it so I can keep it in my personal library. Other stuff I don’t do that with (like with movies), but for some reason it feels good hoarding books ;)
@Liz J – That’s great!! CONGRATS!! You share company with a few others here today paying off their credit cards :) Be very proud of yourselves!!
@Angella – Yeah consignment shops!
@TeacHer – Hehe, throw it into your next round :)
@Jenna, Adaptu Community Manager – Awwwww, I’m sorry to hear that friend. I hope this weekend brought you many blessings!
@LB @ Finanical Black Sheep – Woah, very cool! I didn’t even know they had stuff like that? Or enough suits for all those people to run around in? Haha… You better take pictures :)
@Mysti – You’re just like my wife w/ those pets and their bills :) She never regets spending a penny on her furry babies!
@Erin S – $1.05 for a donut? That better be one BIG and juicy one! :)
@Cherleen @ My Personal Finance Journey – Yeah CHRISTMAS!!! Best time of the year!! :)
@Erin – Nice work w/ the car payments – you’ll be saving SO MUCH by the end! :)
@jenn – What kind of hairstyle are you rocking these days? Pic please! :)
@Liquid – That’s not bad at all then if your only purchases for food for $10 and under – good job :)

2.The least expensive thing: $2.18 at the gas station for coffee for me and the hubs.

3.The most *exciting* thing: $9.35 for fudge at Cedar Point. P.S. Pumpkin fudge in the greatest thing ever. Or $19.09 for a Loaded Baked Potato pizza at a local pizza joint. Also the greatest thing ever.

4.The dumbest thing: $15 for a gym maintenance fee. Lame.

5.The purchase you’re most proud of: Same as #1. Knocking that car payment out…almost there!
