A (qualified) No-Spend Day

By Suburban Wife | Published: September 1, 2009
Ah!  The plea­sures of not spend­ing money. Of course, I’m talk­ing specif­i­cally about money com­ing out of my wal­let — not the money I saw The Hus­band shell out right in front of me.

Gasoline (and a return)

By Suburban Wife | Published: August 31, 2009
Yup, that’s the only thing I spent money on today, gasoline. I got the car today because I had a One­ToOne les­son at the Apple store.  I’d planned to run a num­ber of errands but an appoint­ment to con­sult on a web design project ran long.  Most of my other plans for the day went out [...]

Little Spent & a Little More Done

By Suburban Wife | Published: August 28, 2009
Hot School Lunch caterer — $26.25 The only money I spent today was the check I wrote this morn­ing to the fel­low who caters hot lunches to the kids’ school. Last year our arrange­ment with The Daugh­ter was that we’d pay for two hot meals per week and I’d pack meals for the rest of the week.  [...]
