spending-money
Cash for extras
Spending-money is cash kept on hand for small, discretionary purchases—snacks, entertainment, minor conveniences.
It's money you can use freely without accounting for it: My parents gave me some spending-money for the trip.
The term often appears in contexts involving children or travel allowances.
