Spending: Catching Up

I need to bring my spending diary up to date. It's been a few days, since I posted it.

  • Saturday:

  • $1.39 - bottle of coke
    Took one of my frozen dinners to work, I made up the other day, to eat at lunch. I also drove out to best buy to purchase a converter box (since my coupons expire on May 30). Which ended up being another $24.46 after tax, even with the $40 coupon.

  • Sunday:

  • I bought 2 12 packs of coke (on sale 3/$9) for a total (with tax) is 6:45.

  • Monday:

  • I was off work, so I went by a store closing sale, to see what they had left. Even though I wasn't planning to, I ended up buying a 4 pack of what has to be the world's best root beer. A root beer made, just 45 minutes from where I grew up in east central Kansas. A root beer, that is never on sale. So, when I seen it was 20% and only one pack was left, I grabbed it. Setting me back $2.74 ($3.19 -0.64 +0.19 tax).



    Now, this week I am going to work on being better about not spending anything at work.

    have to reiterate: drink water! it's almost free, or like .09 cents a gallon from the tap (that's what we drink.)

    thanks Becky. I do need to drink more water, and I am trying, but I like the fizz.

    Every time, I get rolling good, I go a week maybe two weeks, and then all of sudden start drinking 3-4 Coca-Cola's in one day.

    I actually hate water, but I add lemon and try to drink all 8 glasses by dinner so I can have iced tea or lemonade or koolade with dinner. Also drinking water with a straw helps (do not know why.) Hey try putting water in your empty soda can, maybe you will fool your brain-lol. If I buy soda for like a barbecue that's all we drink, so now I never buy it, and my barbecue this past weekend I made iced tea, lemonade, and koolade, no one even said a word. I know it is hard to break a bad habit. I am trying to stop biting my nails and trying to limit my daily calories, but it is hard!!! I go like 3 weeks without biting my nails, then they grow and I just bite them all off again. WEIRD!


    Many banks and credit debt companies which have piled up their stocks are expanding their personal and commercial services. On individual level, student loan services are being offered at nominal interest rates. While commercially, banks have really queued up to sell out the merchant accounts combined with a merchant card. Merchant account lets you accept the online payment through credit cards. Such services can now easily be availed through online bank.
