TOTAL: $50.68

Please note that I did, of course, spend money while in Toronto. But since I didn’t spend money on anything other than food, transportation, and accommodation, everything will be reimbursed to me by my company. :)

Friday night I went for dinner at East! Restaurant with my best friend from high school and her husband. It was delicious food, and great company. I miss the both of them so much, and I cannot wait to see them again in May.

Saturday night I met up with my PF blogger friends, Asian PearGingerMelanie and Money Rabbit. We went to The 3 Brewers for dinner, and then Starbucks for a late night chat. They are all such lovely women, and it was so awesome to meet them in person, finally.

    Can you explain what “$50.68 iStock credits” are? Is this a dividend or a refund for an error?

  3. Kate says:

    I'm curious- how do you like iStock? How has your experience been?

    A friend suggested I upload some of my photos on to their site as a seller, but it's completely new to me. Any experiences you'd care to share as a buyer?

      I actually really like iStock. I only buy my images from there because they are reasonably priced, and I really like the whole website experience. It's easy to use, the search function is good, and a wide variety of images to choose from.

  4. Woohoo! :) I love your no spend days! :)

    Glad that you were able to spend time with your high school friends and other PF bloggers :) Sounds like you had an awesome time! :D

    The photos you have on your blog are so pretty- iStock seems to have a good selection. About how much are each photo?

    • gmbmfb says:

      It depends what kind of resolution you want the photo to be. I usually get mine high res (300 dpi), and maybe are about $10-20 each. It's more expensive, but worth it because I can potentially use it in print material later on. The only iStock photos I purchase for this website are on my header …. anything else I purchase through iStock is for my graphic design business. :)

    You've got to love work travel when you don't do it all that often – a new(ish) place, good friends to catch up with and work paying for your meals! Not a bad way to live life!! Looking forward to hearing about your upcoming New Orleans trip and also New York!

    If you like East! You should try Spadina Garden it's located one street north on Dundas Street West close to the greyhound station. btw. Welcome to Toronto!
