Needed another grocery run, and got a great unexpected haul!  I went to Safeway to pay our power bill (they have a kiosk and it’s the only way to pay it electronically currently) and I decided to browse around.  I’d heard Safeway had sweet corn for 5 cents an ear, but I couldn’t find that.…

I had to order new character shoes!  I’m in Shrek and we open a week from today.  I’m only in ensemble and have very little stage time, so even though my character shoes have become WAY too large, I was going to make due.  When wearing two pair of padded peds didn’t help, I decided…

I spent $102 at JoAnn this AM.  I didn’t NEED to make my own costumes for our show, but being larger, hard to fit, etc. I decided I’d feel better if I did.  I have been planning to make costumes for the ren faire and every year I don’t start in time…so I want to…

Pre-camp breakast, $8.26 at Jack in the Box.  Their breakfast sandwiches are WAY overpriced. I met my oldest for a scary Dr’s appointment that turned out not to be scary…we went to Ihop to celebrate.  She offered to treat but I didn’t want her to spend the $$, so I spent $28. We needed a…

Katie goes to drama camp a few times a year…just a week of full days of camp at our local community theater.  She loves it.  Our splurge has been the breakfasts, which would have been less expensive if hubby and I had the willpower to NOT also get a breakfast item, but alas…we’re weak.  Since…

Today I’m making a few batches of rolls in sandwich and hot dog size and maybe, just maybe, I’ll try another bread recipe that might be less dense. I don’t have any shopping or billpaying planned, but I did spend a crazy amount of time on the phone with PennyMac and USAA this AM, because…

I was pretty good today.  I went to Fry’s, where I spent $63 on groceries/household/personal.  This included stocking up on 24 bottles of Powerade (44 cents each for the 30oz and it’s the ONLY thing that really works when I get really bad headaches), some sparkling water (six 88 cent bottles), body wash ($1.50 each…
