Suburban Wife’s Daily Dollar Diary

a financial voyeur’s dream — all the intimate details of how, where, and why I spend money

Day 55

Posted on | October 26, 2007 |

School — $28.50
One month’s worth of catered hot meals (organic vegetarian) for The Daughter at school (2 meals per week for three weeks). Includes main dish, side of fruit, and juice or milk.

Costco — $2.75
The Son had pizza and a soda for lunch while I shopped.

Costco — $58.09
Today I splurged and indulged The Son’s request for a tray of Costco’s pastries. The Husband will enjoy them as well. I also made my second in-preparation-of-Christmas purchase this season — a 4-pack of sparkling apple cider. The kids and grandkids love this stuff so it flows rather freely during the Christmas party we host for all of The Husband’s kids and grandkids on the 23rd of December. Everything else is par for the course. Unfortunately, the item we specifically went to Costco for wasn’t in stock :-(

Apparently another area Costco carries a larger supply of organic goods. It’s not as close to us but is convenient on rehearsal days. The Son will have to make do without toaster pastries until we can get up in that direction again.

  • 3 cases of Horizon chocolate milk — $12.69/case
  • Rudi’s Honey Whole Wheat bread — $3.15
  • Udi’s San Fransisco Sourdough bread — $3.89
  • 9 variety danish — $5.99
  • 4-pack Martinelli’s sparking cider — $6.99

Costco Gas — $29.79
The Tank still had about 1/2 tank of gas but we were there so I figured I’d fill it up. This is going to be a busy driving weekend for us so I knew it would only be another day or two before I needed to fill up anyway. I pumped 11.162 gallons @ $2.669/gallon. My odometer reads 115,607.
