$$: Supplements, Frozen Mac & Cheese, & Health Care

Colonic — $70.00
My poor IBS-racked gut really needed a tune-up after all of that anesthesia and constipation-inducing Vicodin.
[As a bit of an aside:  The Husband and I had an interesting conversation the other night about the failing economy and belt-tightening.  My point was that luxury items would be one of the first things to be [...]

Day 227: Food & A Lampshade

Daily total spent:  $ 89.13
Today was all about food.  There was no deck contractor payment to make — too windy to stain and finish.  An inevitable expense put off until another day.
Tuesday Morning — $12.90
One of the “treasures” I came away with from my mom’s move across the country was a lamp.  It’s a pretty [...]

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 180: Supplements, Co-Pays, Speech, & Emergency Groceries

Supplements – $30.12
Doctor — $25.00
Co-pay to my doctor — they fit me in last minute because my poor lungs are so stressed and my body is so worn out with this wracking cough.  She gave me three prescriptions but I didn’t have any time today so I didn’t get any of them filled.
Speech Therapist — $120.00
Two [...]
