Trip is free...but need spending money

July 15th, 2011 at 01:15 pm

Well...I'm going to Florida. My husband's work is paying for the flight and the hotel so that part is free. But we will have to pay for food and entertainment. I don't want to take any from savings and I didn't "plan" for this trip so there is no money in the budget for it. So I have to figure out where to take it from. Its basically 3 1/2 days. So here are my options:

1) Use half of my grocery money and just plan on eating at the house a lot when I get back. (Plus use the cash I will have)

2) Don't transfer any new money to savings and use what I was going to put in.

3) Or just try to use the little cash I have in my budget and make it work (but it will be slim)

Not sure what to do.

    I think option 1 sounds good, just use up what you have when you get back. Mind you I also like option 2, sorry. When is your trip?

    I agree, there is nothing wrong with using grocery money for the trip, since you will be eating anyway during that time! It all leads to keeping you fed and happy, and I will bet that if you are creative you can have some insurance of eating frugally even on the trip. How nice that the travel and room are all covered! Enjoy...
