Wed / Thurs Updates

October 2nd, 2009 at 01:59 pm

I'm on a roll with the "not eating at work" thing. Haven't spent a dime at work all week, and have no plans to today. Wahoo...

On Wednesday I went to Dunkin Donuts with DS ($3.85) and went out for drinks with friends ($20). Both came out of my personal funds from birthday money I received and not house money, so I'm ok with both. We did take out pizza last night (even though I had chicken set to go in the fridge). I was outvoted 3-1 on that. Looks like I have some work to do with the rest of the family Smile.

I called Verizon and cut my wireless bill by $15/month. We had signed up one of the phone lines for unlimited downloads and internet surfing, which is so unnecessary, and we were barely using the service at all. So that's done.

I'm also looking for a new "in-network" doctor. I switched plans in January and none of my doctors are in the new plan. I'm not that picky, though, so I'm choosing a new one, which will be free (no copay for well visits) instead of $100 or more if I paid out of pocket.

So all in all I feel like I'm slowly getting myself back in gear. Being on this site more regularly definitely helps!

    I hope that your new doc is a good one, and it's great to keep those insurance co-pays to a minimum. Having that health coverage leads to a bit more peace of mind now days, definitely...

    Great job with the not eating at work!

    And good luck with finding the new doctor. I switched doctors about two years ago (for a different reason) and found a wonderful doctor based on the reccommendation of a coworker. Talk to people in your plan and get opinions, it matters Smile

    Ha ha! Democracy and frugality don't seem to mix. We misers have to be tyrants! Smile
