Day 60
Doctor’s Office — $25.00
Our co-pay under our new insurance is $5.00 higher than it used to be but I’ve seen the full bill for these visits so I’m not going to complain too much. This was a quickie visit — The Daughter had her second of three Gardasil shots. They are very painful. I’m not [...]
Day 59
Let’s be honest here. I don’t know about you but I can go only so long being frugal and keeping to bare-bones purchases. But eventually, the dam breaks and I finally break down and make purchases that I’ve been pondering or putting off as non-essential. And when the dam breaks, it’s usually not a single, [...]
Day 58
Whole Foods — $19.89
A quick stop for dinner-fixings on the way home from taking The Daughter to practice tonight. The Son had his first lesson in making a white sauce/gravy. We baked the chicken breasts in the white sauce then served it over noodles. We also baked sweet potatoes. And served a salad. A little [...]

Home Improvements Hell
I took a short trip to Home Improvement Hell today. If you own a home, you’ve been there and will know what I’m talking about.
We desperately need to get our house painted. We also need to have our gutters repaired and our deck repaired and refinished. And we’re quickly running out of warm weather in [...]
Day 57
Church — $15.00
Weekly offering.
Einstein Bagels — $17.10
I knew The Son’s Supersize Me-induced soda moratorium would be short lived After all, he’s 13 and skinny as a bean pole. It doesn’t bother me any since I consider it my job to limit his soda intake. We ordered our usual Dozen Bucket Deal (13 bagels and [...]
Day 56
Kroger — $70.48
This should be the last big grocery trip of the month. I forgot to pick up plastic wrap (don’t you just hate it when you forget the same item 4 or 5 times in a row?). After this trip, I still have $22.15 left on my last Kroger grocery card.
