I thought that today was going to be a $0 but I stopped at Taco Bell for dinner tonight. I made it out with only $2.50, so not too bad.

Oh and I forgot, but this was a good one I paid off my Walt Disney World December vacation the other day. $436.00.

Geez, Dawn, were you busy or something? Did you have something going on? Seriously, with the new house!

Today I went shopping with my friend Chris. Spent $25 for a gift card for a birthday gift. Bought DH shoes for $49...unbelievably, they had his style and size! $22 at Christmas Tree Shop. And $59 at Bath and Body Works for my belated birthday gift from DH! $10 at Panera Bread for lunch. A day out with a friend...priceless!

This month should be easy... DH is in Africa for work so I am cooking less, drinking less beer ( sacreligous for Octoberfest!!), shopping-null, eating out-null, driving less, and I have yet to turn on the heater as we bought 7 cords of firewood that's doing a fabulous job of keeping the kids, dog, and I cozy.
Besides, I have a DW trip to save up for so I am less inclined to spend!

I love me a Happy Meal, Sue!

$2 on a cappuccino and $8 on 100 golf balls at the driving range. I was going to get some dinner out, but it took me so long to hit 100 balls that I just went home and fixed soup - free.

I goofed and forgot to bring my packed lunch to work today. So I ran to the grocery store and realized just how hard it is to pick up a nutritious lunch if you have to stay gluten-free.

Plus, it's danged expensive!! $8
