Day 261: Car Stereo, Nalgene Bottle, & Skirt Hangers (plus incoming $)
Total Spent Today: $298.31
Net Spent Today: $243.33
REI — ($50.13)
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I collected all of our old Nalgene bottles (well, all the ones the kids could find — one of The Daughter’s is still missing) to return for a refund/store credit. The return process took a couple of minutes but overall went very [...]
Day 213: Woot, Lavage, Gas, Book, Starbucks, and Bad News
Woot — $19.99
My first-ever Woot purchase. I usually start out my on-line day by checking out the daily Woot deal but I’ve never seriously been tempted to buy anything until today. This morning’s deal was a Tuesday 2-fer pack of Black & Decker CP120B Backup Batteries. The purchase price was $14.99 with $5 shipping.
These battery packs [...]
Day 199: More Electronics
Why is nothing ever simple? And why are there times in my life when I seem to leak money from every pore?
The problem with being a gadget-hound is that new gadgets open the wallet floodgates. It’s never a simple matter of buying a new gadget. No. There are always new wires, new cables, new adapters, [...]

Day 164: Gifts and Underwear
The Great Underwear Search of ‘08 continues. After a few moments of mom vs. son lack-of-communication tension last night, it came out that The Son’s lack of comfortable underwear is interfering in his life. The Son, already no big fan of social situations or leaving the house, is even more reluctant to get dressed and [...]

Day 130: A Flurry of Shopping
Can you believe that I didn’t make my first purchase of the day until 7:46 pm and yet managed to spend a grand total of $239.70 in less than 1-1/2 hours in a total of 6 different transactions? That’s got to be some kind of record for me — particularly astonding since I usually avoid [...]
