I've been stressing over this weeks upcoming trip to NYC. I'm going with a friend as a caretaker and not my parents, who tend to baby me.
I've been adding up the costs in my head:
2 tanks of gas: $80
Parking for 48 hours- $80- 130 + tip
Without ever leaving the house, I know I'm dropping $200, MINIMUM, to survive for the two day trip, and this does not include meals.
Even McDonald's has gone up:
Highway food: $20
Meals During Stay. . ..
This is the big scary unknown, but I've discovered something I wish I'd participated in before.

| www.hgracejewelry.etsy.com for my endeavors: now including handmade clocks |
Purchases are printable! Once you've completed your order, the gift certificate is at your fingertips.
Just one warning: be sure to read the sites and the merchants regulations carefully. The purchase of a $50 gift card often requires purchasing $100 worth of food with 18% gratuity automatically added. Your $8 meal (with discount) turns out to be $66 very quickly, a mistake I made. I think I'll be meeting my friends for Pacific Asian Cuisine Weds. night.
It's so important to understand guidelines and fees. My caretaker and I are now eating at The Pita Grill for a minimum purchase of $35 for a total cost of $12 + tip.
Thank you to all who have purchased my jewelry or donated. My funds for food are coming directly from that account.
