$$: Dec 4 - Groceries & Sweat Pants
Total Spent Today: $82.67
Please forgive me. I’m still catching up on past Daily $$ posts.
Kroger — $63.18
Who wouldn’t love getting $100’s worth of groceries for $63? Here’s how I did it. First, I saved $7.56 by using my Kroger loyalty card. Then I applied $30 worth of Kroger grocery checks — earned through using my Kroger 1-2-3 Rewards [...]
$$: Dec 3 - Bargain Christmas Shopping for The Daughter
Total Spent Today: $56.82
Dick’s Sporting Goods — $59.49
For some time now, the Daughter has had a pair of boots on her clothing wish-list. A couple of weeks ago she moved those boots from her out-of-my-own-clothing-budget list over to my what-do-the-kids-want-for-Christmas gift suggestion list.
It seemed like a reasonable request to me — especially since the only [...]
$$: Dec 2 - Clothing the Boy
Total Spent Today: $62.65
Eddie Bauer — $62.65
Will this boy ever stop growing? I don’t really mean that, of course, but good night! Keeping The Son in clothing is a full time job.
As has long been our tradition, a few days ago I sent The Son into his room to try on all of his long sleeve shirts and [...]
Kroger Rewards and Delayed Shipping
Yesterday’s mail delivery included an envelope from Kroger. Based on the number of points I’ve acquired through the use of my Kroger 1-2-3 Rewards credit card, I received $15.00 of grocery checks that can be redeemed toward purchases made at Krogers. To me, these checks are as good as money in the bank — I [...]
$$: Sleep Study edition
Total Spent Today: $228.48
I spent last night in the local hospital’s sleep lab. The hope, now that my thyroid has been completely removed and my throat (for the most part) healed from the surgery, was that I’d no longer suffer from obstructive sleep apnea.
Let me assure you, there is very little sleep done during a “sleep” study. If [...]
$$: More Clothes, More Food, and Some Returns
Total Spent Today: $133.22
As predicted, my no-spend-day streak did not extend to a third day. I managed to procure a vehicle for the better part of the day but to do so I had to get up and get moving earlier than I wanted to. I won’t insult you regular working stiffs by telling you what [...]
$$: Just Another Sunday in the ‘Burbs
I’m still feeling like dog barf so I sent the kids to church by themselves this morning. There really are great advantages to having a child with a driver’s license.
When they got back, The Son elected to stay home to play on the computer and complete some chores (including cleaning the kids’ toilet and his [...]
