Not bad!
we bought a house this weekend...
I don't know the breakdown really, but we spent a ton of money moving!
$70 packing supplies (bubblewrap, boxes, tape, etc)
$220 movers (plus $40 tip)
$30 cleaning supplies
$160 new locks/keys for front and side entrance
$100 carpet cleaning
I know I am forgetting a few things... we also have eaten out for every meal since Saturday morning.. so probably $150 in food between the two of us.
We still need to buy paint and supplies, some spackle, and a few other tools...
Wow, awesome, congrats!
We had a good weekend. Friday night we stayed in and watched a movie on the DVR- $0
Saturday we did some shopping- spent $52 garage sale-ing for baby. Also husband was working in the backyard and so we spent $150 on rock (unfortunate thing is, he thought this would be enough and it's not (but we budgeted $300 for the project, not really knowing how expensive it would be). Saturday night we spent $3.90 on a couple redbox movies.
Sunday we stayed in- just ran to the grocery store for a couple things and that was under $10.
So total for the weekend was about $220 and most of that was a project we had been planning on completing for far too long now.
Friday:
3 Doctor copays - $60
2 movie tickets - $23 (cousin got the dinner)
Saturday:
Pat's Pizza for lunch - $25
H got McDonald's - $3
Sunday:

Total: $206
Congrats on your new house, banda!

Ours was pretty good. We ate out twice, but both meals were planned a few weeks in advance (celebrating life events with family and friends).
We treated our friends for their celebration dinner Friday, for a total of $108
We treated friends to dinner and drinks Saturday for $67
We otherwise rocked home cooked food and leftovers, and outside of food we didn't spend any other money.
