i was going to make this a daily post kinda thing, but i've come to find out that's a hard feat when you work two jobs and only get one day off per week... so this is going to be a weekly recap now!
if you're new here, welcome โฎโห and if you're returning from my previous blog, welcome back!
this time around, we're going to be diving into everything i, river user @perfectlynormalgirl, have spent money on between sept 13 - sept 19.
sept 13
we started the week off right by getting a katsu sandwich and a black sesame latte at muji with @aristotle. it was a wonderful outing and i'm happy to have indulged in muji's hot food, but i have to say i would not purchase this again. this came out to a whopping $30.92... not starting the week off strong.
later that night i had a night on the town, so i bought a bottle of guava flavored soju to set the tone. i am sad to report i failed to photograph this, so instead i am inserting an image of the aftermath. this came out to $5.15.
and finally, it comes the time to factor in the biggest money suck of them all, metro fares :( i spent a total of $8.70 on the metro on this fine day.
leaving us with a grand total of...
$44.77
we can only hope that tomorrow is a better day....
sept 14
we start this day off at night, finding myself having to be escorted off to my partner's home as i was too belligerently drunk to make it back to manhattan at 2 or 3 in the morning. i somehow got the idea of pizza into my head, and would not rest without a slice - and thus i found myself spending $5 on a slice of za'. far too intoxicated to snap a photo, i've included a representative substitute photo above.
by the time i made it home during during the reasonable hours of the day, I found myself lacking in groceries, so i made a quick stop at h mart that ended up costing me $18.47. i think i bought chili oil, kefir, and chai.
next i had to head to work because the grind stops for nobody in this never ending chase for the bag. to boost my spirits after my mild hangover, i bought this mango coconut drink from heytea that was quite good but frankly not something i feel the need to ever buy again. this one cost me $7.61
while at work i bought tickets to a fall festival upstate for my friends and i to go to next weekend. this came out to $21.01.
i work the night shift on sundays, so i bought myself this stick of meat for dinner. yummy. this came out to $8.
now when we factor in those pesky subway fares, that's an additional $11.60
leaving us with a grand total of...
$71.69

sept 15
finally a good day! all I spent was $5.80 on the subway. since all i really did this day was work, enjoy this work photo.
this leaves us with a grand total of...
$5.80
sept 16
this was one of my remote workdays, and it also happened to be a 10 hour one. so no money was spent! for better or for worse...
this leaves us with a grand total of...
$0
sept 17
i woke up sick :( so after work i ran over to target and bought myself some cold medicine and a bottle of water. this came out to $13.86. i also paid my last $2.90 for the subway thank GOD.
this leaves us with a grand total of...
$16.76
sept 18
i had a work event i needed to go to this evening, so despite being sick, i hauled ass over there to get the job done. thankfully one of my bosses saw reason and decided to send me home early since i was still ill, so i stopped at a nearby h mart to buy some blackberries on the way back. this came out to $4.98.
with my new found freedom, i once again linked up with @aristotle, this time for some tom yum soup. i felt this was what i truly needed in light of my ailment. it was really quite wonderful. definitely would get again. this came out to $10.15.
leaving us with a grand total of...
$15.13
sept 19
i awoke to some terrible news. my roommate tested positive for covid ;-; being sickly myself, i thought it wise for me to test as well. so i masked up and ran over to CVS to pay $9.99 for a covid test (and $2 for a pound of grapes).
leaving us with a grand total of...
$11.99
total spending for the week:
$166.14
That's an average of $23.73 per day. let's see if we can beat that next week. all we can do is hope for a better tomorrow ห ๐๐หโ๏ฝกโ
