Where did I go wrong?


So I'm super sad tonight I thought I was doing really well on the budget for Riley's birthday but after today when I bought the cake plates, napkins, balloons and banners I added it all up and I'm at $32.01 so much for being super frugal mom and doing her whole party for 50 bucks!

I'm so sick of dong hot dogs we have done them the past 2 years I wanted to do cold cut sandwiches and cut all the bread slices into dino shapes! Right now for food and drinks with that menu I'm guessing some were in the neighborhood of 30 bucks. I also still need to get favors. Riley asked for Dinosaur hats which are these foam dinosaur shapes hats she saw them at the $ store. With 10 kids that's 10 bucks right there and she also wanted dinosaur party blowers. A 8 pack is 3.99 she will not be getting those.

I feel like I took a wrong turn somewhere on something I bought. I shopping around and I believe I got the best prices on stuff!

  1. Birthday parties are expensive...Mikey and I couldn't believe how much Ben's cost, and I made his cake and had people bring food!
