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

$$: Another No-Spend Day?!

Total Spent Today: $0.00

That’s two in a row (don’t let my posting out of order fool you).  I’ve just managed to go two whole days without any direct or indirect (through The Daughter) spending.
Of couse, it doesn’t hurt that I didn’t have a car at my disposal yesterday (and it’s way too windy and cold to ride the [...]

$$: Starbucks, Pizza & an animated Zombie-Hand-in-a-Bowl

Whoo Hoo.  I actually had a car at my disposal today.  This is, I believe, the first Saturday in about two months that I’ve had a car to use.  The Daughter is still fighting some sort of back-to-school-sniffles and since there were no tournaments and no college fairs to attend today, she stayed home, cleaned [...]

$$: Panda Express, Groceries, a Book & a Shirt

Ugh.  Today did not go as planned.  The Son and I had an appointment for a One-to-One lesson at the Apple store.  I was really looking forward to it.  The Son asked for some time on the computer which I reluctantly gave him because it was a little too early to get packed up.  I [...]

Day 91: Popsicles and Ice Cream

The Son, The Daughter, and I all spent hours in the cold today manning the grill at a fund-raiser holiday fair at The Daughter’s school.  Well, The Daughter didn’t last to the bitter end (pun very much intended) but The Son and I worked from set-up and shut-down and by the time we were done [...]

Day 90: Gutter Balls!

Ninety days!  Wow, who’d a’ thunk it — that I would have the stick-to-it-iveness to bore you all with every minute detail of my daily $$ expenditures for three whole months?
As usual, I’ll list the money I spent today but then I’ll also list the household bills that The Husband himself took care of throughout [...]
