There's a particular book in my library. Once a month I put a $100 bill between the pages of that book; this is my "Dragon*Con fund." By Labor Day weekend each year, there's enough in there to pay for my hotel room, anything I want to buy in the Exhibitors' and Dealers' rooms, parking, food, and my onsite preregistration for the following year.
I also ask for a refrigerator in my room, and I fill it with sodas and snacks. At the Hilton the fridge is supposed to be an extra $15, but this year they didn't even bother to charge me.
It helps, I suppose, that I live in Decatur, so I don't have to worry about flying in from anywhere.
Of course, I cosplay, so I spend a lot more on costume stuff through the year.
