$$: Meat and Potatoes
Ugh. Friday’s are tough because The Daughter gets one car and The Husband and I have to share the second one but we both have busy schedules because The Son’s in class on Friday and I volunteer.
Whole Foods — $11.06
2.83# organic russet potatoes — $2.80

$$: Dec 9 — Recycling on the Cheap
Total Spent Today: $84.48
The Home Depot — $47.94
Our “waste management” company recently announced that they were greatly expanding the list of recyclable materials they’d collect. This, combined with the fact that they went “single stream” a while ago and the fact that they pick up recyclables only every other week means that our old recycling tub just [...]
$$: Dec 8 - Medical Expenses and Christmas Gifts
Total Spent Today: $324.01
Ugh. Still trying to catch up on my Daily Dollar postings.
Physical Therapy — $25.00
Another physical therapy session for The Son. His range of mobility continues to improve; he’s so very close to full range. Actually, the therapist says he has an extended range of mobility — one that a baseball pitcher would envy. For years [...]

The Son is 14. He has generally shown very little [...]
$$: Just Another Sunday in the ‘Burbs
I’m still feeling like dog barf so I sent the kids to church by themselves this morning. There really are great advantages to having a child with a driver’s license.
When they got back, The Son elected to stay home to play on the computer and complete some chores (including cleaning the kids’ toilet and his [...]
$$: Gas, Juice, & Small Loan
Total Spent Today: $53.00
Today was a very loonnnnnnnng day.
I went to bed at 11:30pm last night. I woke up this morning at 4:45am — about 15 minutes before my alarm was due to go off. The Daughter’s volleyball team made it into the state Regionals tournament which was being held today — in a very small, remote town over [...]
