Suburban Wife’s Daily Dollar Diary

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

Day 181: CPAP Supplies

I almost wrote that today had been a no-spend day. After all, due to The Husband’s sweet generosity, I didn’t leave the house all day. I cleaned and organized and unpacked and washed, dried, and put away laundry all day while he took care of getting The Daughter to and from school and [...]

Day 180: Supplements, Co-Pays, Speech, & Emergency Groceries

Supplements – $30.12
Doctor — $25.00
Co-pay to my doctor — they fit me in last minute because my poor lungs are so stressed and my body is so worn out with this wracking cough.  She gave me three prescriptions but I didn’t have any time today so I didn’t get any of them filled.
Speech Therapist — $120.00
Two [...]

Day 179: Gas, Gifts, & More

Not to sound like a broken record, but it’s been a long day.  And did I mention, I’ve been sick?  No, not just sick.  I mean sick. Really sick.  Ill.
We all got up at 6am to celebrate The Daughter’s 16th birthday.  It was so fun to give her gifts she hadn’t expected.  It was really [...]

Day 178: Emergency Re-Stocking

I’m still miserably sick and should have spent the whole day in bed.  Instead, I woke up at 4:30 am (from my hacking, wheezing cough) and have been busy all day — despite a fever this morning.  The Husband took The Daughter to school this morning then came back later in the morning and took [...]

I’m beyond exhaused.  But I managed to keep my credit cards and my cash in my wallet and got through the whole day without spending any money.

Day 171: More Groceries

I can go only so many days and work only so hard on a diet of nothing but tortillas and lunch meat 
After a full day of work followed by a run to pick up moving boxes, we stopped at the local grocery store (health food type, not a big chain) for some veggies — [...]
