Walmart trip

December 1st, 2009 at 01:55 am

Spent $10 on two cases of Mt. Dew
Spent $6.15 on a big can of popcorn
Spent $3.16 on bread, some old from the bakery for Italian loaf for dinner tonight.
Made Olive Garden alfredo sauce and Angel hair pasta for dinner and it was delish!
Washed and returned Thanksgiving dishes to rightful owner. They thought I should just take the baking dish.
Total for trip today was $78.97
That's a weeks worth of groceries, including lunches and dinner for tonight and tomorrow. Leftovers will have to be eaten tomorrow!

Weary to even post

With all the problems the entire world is having with their money, I haven't posted in a while as I didn't even want to think about MY finances.
I am a grownup and will face it like a woman.
So, my credit stinks, my longest open card just closed on me and won't reopen it. I have been hanging on by string, but still making it. I also have gotten a new job. My training starts after Christmas. I am excited about that.
I worked Saturday night at my current job. I hadn't worked before then since Oct. 30th. Wow!
I am not worried a bit about Christmas as we know we are not getting much. Our drawing for the adult kids is going strong again for the third year in a row. I am not worried about school either. I am certain that I will pass with flying colors. My hope that I will do better next year doesn't seem so bleak. I could be way worse off.
On a better note, i am saving with SmartyPig and my Santa savings I just opened will be mighty full by next Christmas!
I am also taking part in a drug study that will pay $1115 after 8 months. I am happy with that too. It is for a weight loss drug. So, I want to win two ways. One to lighten my load and one to fatten my savings wallet.
The sun is shining...
