I'm in the same boat at the moment. As I geared up for a big Geena opportunity and discovered the Amazon pick up counter, I got several things I needed, and a couple impulsive but great items. My total only came to about $80 over 4 weeks but added to the $100+ I spent on the 3-day Geena vacation; it represents over a year of normal Geena budget. I will need to increase her allowance.
