- What if it's only a bag of Corn Nuts you picked up at the 7-11? -- nm - Baron Nefcy May 4, 13:11 1
  - 7-11 goes into Groceries - oblique May 4, 13:31
If I'm being a stickler, any cost of dining out that falls above my daily at-home average of eating out would go into the travel bucket - ty97 May 4, 12:54 4
- This is how I do it. -- nm - Max May 4, 14:52
- Yeah that’s just way too much effort. -- nm - znufrii May 4, 13:02 2
  - You already have a budget and are tracking your expense so it's no effort! - ty97 May 4, 13:04 1
    - Well, I’m tracking my expenses at any rate. -- (edited) - znufrii May 4, 13:10
travel, because I don't have a choice. at home my choices are "grocery" and "dining out" but while traveling, grocery is not generally available. -- nm - amanda jeans May 4, 12:53 7
- Stay at Homewood Suites! Buy groceries and cook dinner! -- nm - ty97 May 4, 13:00 5
  - (This was my go-to when I'd be in Boulder for work 2-3 weeks at a time) -- nm - ty97 May 4, 13:05 4
    - Per diem? - spamlet May 4, 13:08 3
      - Originally we were an actual expense, then later on per diem. - ty97 May 4, 13:11 2
        
        (actual expense...with a limit....of course) - ty97 May 4, 13:11 1
        
        Yeah our limits are really low if travelling domestically. I went over the limit at LAX one time when connecting. - spamlet May 4, 13:33
- This is a good distinction that I hadn’t considered. -- (edited) - znufrii May 4, 12:56

Buh... jet...? -- nm - Mop May 4, 12:52
We do travel but for us that’s a completely separate budget. - spamlet May 4, 12:49
Does travel, for you, include hotel and other expenses incurred during a vacation? If so, then include it with the rest. -- nm - Krusty May 4, 12:47 2
- Everything trip related except gas and tolls, yeah. -- nm - znufrii May 4, 12:50 1
  - Then I'd include it as it's an expense incurred during your travels/vacation. -- nm - Krusty May 4, 13:20
employee meals -- nm - tRuMAN May 4, 12:46 2
- Non-work related. -- nm - znufrii May 4, 12:47 1
  - aww, then travel -- nm - tRuMAN May 4, 12:48
