a good day to spend/save money

February 6th, 2012 at 10:20 pm

Went shopping for vegetables for the week, plus cereal and walnuts and honey: $34.57. Spouse and I dined on $4 Chinese Food specials in the cafe inside the supermarket.
Plus, boy needed valve oil for his trumpet so I bought a replacement bottle for 54 cents, thanks to a $5 off coupon.
Today's savings: $13.37
Today's expenditures: $45
I can't find the TD Ameritrade/Intuit sweepstakes where one wins $15000. No mention on either the TD Ameritrade or the Intuit website. I know I saw it last week, because I printed out the instructions on how to enter if you don't have a Facebook account.

It is 10 degrees Celsius out and beautiful. I have $740 until Friday. Plus, I am participating in some month-long challenge for February to mail something every day. I mailed five things on Sunday to catch up -- one was a Target bill plus two donations. If someone wants something like a postcard from me, Private Message me through the forums.

Mother-in-law is sending us Ha Jin and Harlan Ellison books. Yay!

    Sounds like you did some good saving and spent only what you needed!

    Oooh--Ha Jin!
    I might need a Paulette postcard. The "other" Paulette Goddard was my dad's favorite actress.

    My English Castle I'm sure I can find a postcard featuring someone Charlie Chaplin slept with. I heard from a relation of Paulette's: she told me something no Chaplin biographer ever knew or if they knew, never published.

    I also bought three used paperback books from Powells.com today, one of them a Sue Townsend novel unavailable in local libraries.
