Clearly, you recognize your own behavior. Clearly, this was an exception rather than the rule. You'll pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and resolve to do better next time. I think it's great that as a frugal blogger you have the honesty to put this story out there. I appreciate honesty in this area. -Kate I agree that there’s no sense in being too hard on yourself.

I ate at Del Taco for breakfast, went out for lunch and ate dinner and Chili's (or a similar place). Every day. I blew THOUSANDS every month on eating out and gained 30lbs. Who knew being so horrible with spending would cause tons of debt and such. Sigh. Your weekend is the same as the last 5 years of my life.

I'm definitely trying to not worry about it, and not having time to update my budgeting spreadsheet has helped, but I'm kind of dreading what I will see once I get the time together to crunch the numbers. I guess I will just have to wait and see. I am currently moving too and my wife and I have been eating out more as a result.

Or buying paper plates... cooking and doing dishes are not things one worries about in the middle of such projects! I plan on working take out into our next home repair project, because it always seems to come to that! Plan on more dinners out as the house buying progresses.
