eat out less

I don’t know that there’s any way to ever truly mark this done, but I’m going to anyway. I still love Douglas Adams’ work. I don’t see that disappearing anytime soon. And this goal irritates me in its nebulousness.
So it’s done.
I went over budget the last couple of months on restaurant/bar spending. I’m doing okay on grocery spending, though. We eat at home a lot, but apparently not enough. Plus, one of the outings this last month was an expensive one. It was a friend’s birthday and so I went all out. Ouch, though.
So, next month, I’m going to aim for no more than one eating out experience per week (and that includes paying for coffee shop goodies).
I wanted to get and play with a Fuji Instax camera, but now I’m reconsidering in favor of a vintage medium format camera. We’ll see how the ebaying goes. If I get a good deal on a working vintage camera, I’ll drop this goal and focus on that camera.
