Safeway gas -- $31.42
I took my mom's car for one last fill-up.  She flies in tonight.  We'll leave for the east coast in a couple of days.

Car Wash -- $10.75
After tanking up, I drove across the street to a self-service car wash and gave it a thorough vacuuming and bath.  It looks all sparkly and clean now -- I'm sure my mom will be pleased at my efforts.  It was the least I could do since she let us use it all this time.  Having her car to drive around has saved us quite a bit in gas lately since her car gets about twice the mpg that The Tank gets.  It's also been nice having a third car.  We'll definitely miss that luxury.

Kroger -- $7.62
Right in the middle of making hamburgers and oven fries for dinner, I had to run back to the grocery to pick up some ground beef.  After getting the fries all prepared and in the oven I discovered that the package of ground beef I bought the other day had a small hole in the package.  I couldn't see the hole when the meat was frozen but I'd let it defrost in the fridge for a day and today it was quite noticeable -- the meat was clearly discolored.  I was seriously bummed and peeved.

  • 1.36 lbs Coleman ground beef -- $6.79 (saved $1.36)
  • 1.4 lbs bananas -- $0.97

Airport Parking -- $2.00

School Lunch Caterer -- $47.50
That's for 10 hot organic lunches for The Daughter at school -- two lunches per week (our agreed upon weekly allotment) for the last 5 weeks of school (May/June).
