Yesterday I treated BF to Chinese for dinner ($26.10, including tax + tip). We both had a huge craving for it, which is silly because we’re going to absolutely feast on Chinese food on Friday evening (going home for Chinese New Year with the family). But it was good anyway. And we had enough leftovers for BF to bring for his lunch today, and for me to have for dinner tonight. :)
As for the weekend expenses at home, here is my rough budget:
Friday
$10 – lunch. We’ll have to grab lunch on the way to the ferry terminal.
$15 – my share of parking at the ferries.
$14 – ferry to the island.
Saturday
$6 – gym.
$15 – lunch with my sister. There’s a new pho place right by our house. Yum!
$20 – gift for friend’s new baby. I’m thinking something cute from Baby Gap, or Smoking Lily.
$5 – coffee with friend. May or may not happen, but best to budget it in!
$15 – Avatar date with my mom. Finally going to go see this movie! Very excited.
Sunday
$6 – gym.
$14 – ferry back to Vancouver.
TOTAL COST = $120
So, not bad for a weekend home. Again, the costs are about average – around $100. I haven’t been back since Christmas, so I’m really excited to see my family and friends. Especially my friend’s new baby boy. :)

Is J Chinese too?
Anonymous: No, he's not.
I like how you've broken this down. You've inspired me to do this for our upcoming weekend trip. :)
I love chinese food too.
I'm heading to Vegas this weekend. Seems fitting since it's CNY, Valentine's Day, and Presidents day. And of course Pay Day. :)
Happy Chinese New Year.
Have fun this weekend!
