$$: Gas in the Tank
Total Spent Today: $27.44
Safeway — $27.44
On the way home from church today, the kids and I stopped to tank up The Tank. I pumped 16.639 gallons at an amazing $1.649 per gallon. The odometer read 135,584.

Both of these checks were written at the Post Office this morning where The Daughter and I were filing her application for a passport.
Two things of note in respect to this process:
One, the clerk took The Daughter’s birth certificate and stapled it, along with the second passport photo, together [...]
$$: Allowances
Total Spent Today: $48.00
Technically today was a no-spend day because allowances were actually doled out earlier this week. As The Husband is the man with the money, however, I wasn’t party to the allowance payouts. I learned that both kids had collected their allowances when I reminded them that the month was coming to a close and any [...]
