From Thursday night to Sunday night, I spent $60 on gas, about $54 for food (some of those purchases were for two people), and I can't think of anything else...  under $120.

I didn't have much to start with.. then I got a call from my parents and they were all 'Oh your anime thing is this weekend right? go to the bank, we left you something.'

So, I ended up spending about 100$-ish. I think I'll have to save up more for the next con. Waaay more.

My gas cost was a little bit higher than most since I came from Knoxville. But here was the rundown that I had. I could of spent a lot more but was a bit busy with the Con. =)...

Gas Cost:                       About $80.00 Total
Rental Car Cost:            About $90.00 Total -- Not bad for 4 days either.  Cool
Food Credits:                 Roughly $40.00 Total
Vendor Room Romp:      $25.00 (Two DVD's and a Pikachu Plushie  Tongue)

Overall, a little over $200.00...but worth every penny. Smiley

Well, I think it was a little over a hundred on the costume.  Not including the material for the coat I could not make in time. Or the pants I had to buy, yes buy for a back up plan when the pants made .. which were so much better than the ones I went out and bought.  But the ones I made screwed me over. We'll just say they were a little too tight friday night.  x.X; The wig I was disappointed in too, but lo and behold I got it from Hot Topic in desperate measures. In fact, most of this costume was completed in desperate measures. I was pleased with how decent we made it look in the short amount of time we had.  I will say that.  But I know for damn sure, if I would have continued on it way ahead of my time .  Like before.. I would've been very happy with it .

So after all that ,and finally arriving at the con.  Because I consider that money spent in tribute to the con. I'd say, I had very little money left in my pocket at the time. So with admissions and what not, and a few items bought.  I'd say maybe around 85 on the actual con itself ?

And the bonus in all this ?
