Okay, so plot twist, people: I started traveling for work and
that put a bit of wrench in this whole plan to only use cash. All of my
expenses Monday to Thursday have been charged to a card, but I have managed to
stick to cash for my Friday to Sunday expenses. With that being said, below
I’ll be sharing my weekend expenses over two weekends.
Weekend 1
Sunday
I spent the last few days of July and first days of August
in Maryland visiting my family. When I got back to Chicago on Sunday afternoon,
I went to Whole Foods grab some food to supplement what I already had at home
and picked up some other things for travel. I got plantain chips, unsweetened
vanilla almond milk, coconut aminos, skyr yogurt, lavender room and body mist,
and turmeric pills. I also donated the cost of a bag to the WF charity of the
month. $44.95
Daily total: $44.95
Weekend total: $44.95
Weekend 2
Friday
I worked from home this day and made it through most of the
day eating some frozen foods from Trader Joe’s, kale and cereal (not all at once, of course). I went into
downtown after signing off from work to get my nails done and buy new running
shoes. I got OPI VIPink nail polish and I am in love. It’s so bright and fun. I
recommend getting a coat of the whitest nail polish available under the pink
because it makes the pink pop even more. Anyway, the mani-pedi was $72 with tip and after a $10 discount
because it was my tenth visit to the salon.
I headed to a running store and picked up some Adidas
running shoes that fit my orthotics because my feet are messed up. And, to my
surprise, they were on sale! $115.77
