Day 52

Posted on | October 23, 2007 |

Costco Gas — $56.72
The Tank’s tank was empty so we left the house early on the way to The Son’s Tuesday classes so we could stop by Costco for a fill-up. I pumped 21.251 gallons @ $2.669/gal. My odometer reads 115,440.

Target — $35.09
Today almost turned into a Shopping-While-Impared day (my pain level is depressingly high) but I ended up putting back several items I knew I didn’t need. I also managed to leave without buying any photo frames — I need some but they weren’t on sale so I’m going to hold off until they are. I’d hoped to end up with another large box of Tide Free but they were out of stock I ended up with:

one pair of opaque black tights (this is what I went in for, The Daughter needs these as part of her costume for the upcoming school play) — $4.99
10-pack of Daisy 3 razors (for The Daughter and I) — $9.29
2 huge bags (total of 210 pieces) of Hallowe’en candy — $9.99/ea.

Cash — $1.50
Slice of pizza for The Son who helped me staff the concessions table at The Daughter’s playoff game.

edit: added the following expense paid by The Husband today

Qwest — $128.64
A lower phone bill — now that’s a welcome sight. Last month I cancelled The Daughter’s “Pic Mail” service. We had intended to keep that service for only 3 months after her 15th birthday when she was given her new flip camera cell phone. That was in late February. Guess we went a little beyond the 3 months
