Day 90: Gutter Balls!
Ninety days! Wow, who’d a’ thunk it — that I would have the stick-to-it-iveness to bore you all with every minute detail of my daily $$ expenditures for three whole months?
As usual, I’ll list the money I spent today but then I’ll also list the household bills that The Husband himself took care of throughout [...]
Day 89: Grocery Store Triple Whammy
I ran the Grocery Store triathlon today — hit Kroger’s, Wild Oats, and Vitamin Cottage all on the same day. I’m exhausted and the grocery budget is worn thin. No, it’s busted. I went over this month’s grocery budget by $14.27. On the other hand, we’re almost $25.00 under on our Dining budget.

Costco — $100.99
I went in for juice boxes and those Izze sodas. OMG! Do you know what those things cost?! $11.45 for [...]
Something Extra to be Thankful For
I know that Thanksgiving is now just a distant, pleasant memory for most but I hope you’ll forgive me for my belated Thanksgiving post.
I’ve just been looking over my YNAB budget* and discovered an unforeseen benefit of the holiday — a lower gasoline bill this month. With The Daughter being out of school for a whole week [...]

New bulb: $1.85.
