Weekends can be tricky times for those of us doing our best to keep to budgets. I still find the concept of "retail therapy" completely bizarre, although that could be a male thing I guess!
When we're distracted doing other things, working or studying, it's not possible to spend our money but when the weekends come round we are bombarded with opportunities to be parted from our cash. Whether it's having a day at a retail park (is this really a day of leisure?) or going somewhere that costs just to get in, there will always be those enticements to pay a little extra.
Just what is wrong with going out for the day, taking a picnic, and not spending any money at all? Being with friends and family is far more rewarding.
