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

$$: 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 [...]

$$: Physical Therapy

Total Spent Today: $25.00

Physical Therapist — $25.00
Our co-pay for The Son’s first physical therapy appointment.  His range of motion is pretty good and his prognosis looks good.  We set up two appointments for next week and two for the following week though they can be cancelled if not needed.

$$: Sleep Study edition

Total Spent Today: $228.48

I spent last night in the local hospital’s sleep lab.  The hope, now that my thyroid has been completely removed and my throat (for the most part) healed from the surgery, was that I’d no longer suffer from obstructive sleep apnea.
Let me assure you, there is very little sleep done during a “sleep” study.  If [...]

$$: Chiropractor

Total Spent Today: $35.00

Chiropractor — $35.00
Remember when The Son broke his clavicle in early September?  Well, his body’s been a mess ever since — as you might well imagine.  After all, he didn’t just fall and snap his collarbone.  No, he tripped and tumbled and took off large patches of skin on his hip and back and bruised [...]

$$: Bagels on Sunday

Total Spent Today: $43.38

Church — $30.00
Weekly offering 
Einstein Bros. Bagels — $13.38
The kids asked if we could stop for a bucket of bagels on the way home from church.  We haven’t stopped for bagels since the middle of August.  We bought a Dozen Bucket which includes 13 bagels and two tubs of plain schmear.
[Just in case you're [...]

$$: Another Saturday in Suburbia edition

Total Spent Today: $70.82

Qwest — $51.76
This particular bill is a very mild point of contention between me and The Husband.  I say we should consider dropping our land line altogether or, at the very least, our long distance service through Qwest.  He’s not interested in either option.  *sigh*
Safeway — $19.44
The Daughter used her credit card to fill up [...]

$$: The I-Need-Protein Edition

Total Spent Today: $49.75

Sherwin-Williams — ($10.00)
I started the day off right — with a return.  I finally got around to returning the color fan I had “checked out” during my exterior-color-selection ordeal.
Whole Foods — $29.75
As I’ve mentioned before, I suffer from rather extensive food allergies.  One of my more annoying and restrictive allergies is legumes.  I’m allergic to [...]
