Spent $62.96

January 3rd, 2009 at 01:27 am

Went to Walgreens and Rite Aid for various toiletries that we needed. It was a triple hit - razor blades, saline solution and visine. Yipes they're expensive. Even with a store coupon and mfr coupon, the razor blades were $2/pop.
I did set up a grocery log so I could keep track of what I'm buying, including the unit price to make it easier to compare prices to see if I'm truly getting a good deal. Walgreens had 6 packs of Kleenex tissues for $4.99. I bought 2, with a $.50 coupon, making the per box price only $.71, which is pretty good nowadays.

Other than that, no other money spent. I did manage to make it to the gym today, for the first time in months! Felt good to get back in the swing of things. I'll try to keep that up 3-4x/week.

Caught up on documenting my utility spending. Figured out that we use about 206 gallons of water/day. I have no idea if that's alot or not, relatively speaking. We've been pretty consistent over the past 2 years, except this summer when our pool liner had a leak.

Need to make a trip down to dad's this weekend. Otherwise should be fairly quiet.

    I joined a gym and enjoy going, but I tell you it's a job I make myself go and when I get there I'm glad I went

    Did you do a spreadsheet or what? I am seriously going to try to do this, but I'm not quite sure how to start a grocery log/price book.

    When I use to keep track, I did a spread sheet. At the top were the name of the store:Publix, Walmart etc, to the left was the item: eggs, milk etc and the I put input the price under each store. That way I knew which items were less expensive where
    hmmm I think I just might start it up again
