I scored at the swap meet, and got all of Giant Robo on VHS for $2, but then I caved at the Dealers Room and the Artist Alley, where I spent 30 bucks on a poster for Hayao Miyazaki's Daydream Data Notes, which I think is a collection of some of his manga work, and another 20 on a really cool EVA print.
I'm a bit disappointed at the lack of game-selling booths in the Dealer's Room this year. Normally there's maybe one that sells games on a variety of platforms, as well as Aksys's booth, but this year only the latter was to be found. I was hoping to use the $100 I got from selling stuff at the Swap Meet on a game I was looking for.
Hopefully will edit later with pics
3 gothic Lolita bible Mooks
1 Kenshin replica Reverse blade sword
1 Boba Honeydew drink (wasn't even good, now i feel like slapping myself)

I really wanted one of those Bodyline Lolita Dresses too, but maybe next year. Or I can get it online.
And the place where I got the doujins were also selling these super soft pillows and pillow cases. But I didn't have that much money. I wish I got a Hetalia shopping bag! They were only 3 dollars or something on Monday!
I didn't do a good job of keeping track of my purchases, which is why I went about $100 over what I anticipated spending. ^_^;;;
From what I can remember:
At the Swap Meet, all I got was X-day vol 1 which I lost some time ago.
At the Dealer's Room, I got an Aria #4 manga, a One Piece Cup, a Skelanimals short-sleeved hoodie, a Sho-U Tajima artbook, and this year's BAAU Down book.
I kind of went crazy in the Artist's Alley... got 3 posters, 3 postcards of One Piece and a volume 1 compilation of a webcomic (from the same booth), an Alice in Wonderland artbook from a booth with tons of beautiful artbooks, two commissioned pins, one commissioned half body drawing of me with my bf, a knit cat hat, 2 large posters and 3 smaller ones from various different artists, and a pin of a character I don't know but looked cute. ^^;
At the Arcade room, spent about $30 between beating the Metal Slug Arcade game to death and Air Hockey. :3
Food-wise, I went to the Fanimaid Cafe once, Peet's a couple times, and ate way too many steamed pork buns (I think I may be addicted).
Lunch/Dinner at:
-Pizza My Heart ($6, I think)
-Poor House Bistro ($11)
-Popeye's ($5)

Oh, non-food items:

I was thinking of buying that body pillow XD but I couldn't cause my girlfriend would kill me lol :D
Usually I buy a lot of stuff from Fanime, but this year my purchase was rather small. I was too busy going to gatherings, posing for photos, and I didn't have that much money on me (most of it went to the hotel). The only thing I really wanted was a Baccano boxset and I finally managed to snag that on the last day. I would have done more shopping on Monday, but some of my friends were beat, and wanted to leave the con right away. So I only managed to grab these:
Baccano Boxset
Screen Tones (20 pages for $1 at the Swap meet!)
Fruit Basket Kyo keychain
Hetalia mouse pad from the Yaoi booth

Dealer's Hall: A Bleach keychain, a Naruto Shippuden Ramen Bowl and Spoon set, a Naruto Shippuden Towel, and One Piece: Season Two Fourth Voyage DVD.
Artist's Alley: 2 Danny Phantom sketches, a Kallen Kozuki print, and a Zodiac print (Gemini).
I bought a lot of stuff, but my favorite purchase was a bunch of Slayers and Fruits Basket pins I found in the Swap Meet. They were all metal and in really good condition. I got them for a dollar each, which was an amazing deal. I got comments about them all weekend.
I bought less this year than I have at any other Fanime. Only three things, all from the Swap Meet (not counting some buttons for a friend, which she picked out, which also came from the Swap Meet).
-HG/SS Ho-oh figure
-HG/SS Lugia figure
-Final Fantasy 12
Me and a friend did leave with a few boxes of free books that someone didn't want to carry back up to their room and just gave away.
So yeah, I updated my buys from Fanime with pictures... took me almost 3 weeks to get off my lazy ass to do so..>.>;
I really wanted a Railgun t-shirt. Couldn't find one. Maybe at AX...
