What’s Left? & No Spend Day

by mapgirl on November 19, 2008

I’ve got about $25 in my checking account and $50 in my wallet. Normally I’d be going to about 2-3 hockey games in the next week and a half, but the Capitals are on a road trip and I sold one of the games off. Therefore, I don’t have to add much money to my SmarTrip card for a while.

I’m living a relatively stable home life this week, dog-sitting for my boyfriend. No shuttling back and forth from my apartment to my boyfriend’s place. This means I’ve stocked the fridge at his house with lots of groceries. Since I have to hurry back home after work every day to ensure there isn’t a mess waiting for me, I’ve killed all my social engagements this week. That’s good for the wallet. No dinner out of the house. (Oh who am I kidding? There was just one engagement and I’ll see my knitting crew soon enough. LOL.)

I actually had to stop at the supermarket this week before work on Monday and bought a few things to eat for lunch at work. It’s saved me quite a bit of money. I got a little pint container of chili on Monday and two multigrain rolls for about $5. (Of course there was also the emergency acid control drugs I bought which will likely be spun out into another series of medical posts. HEEE-LLLLOOO Endoscopy!)

I hardly doubt my $75 will last till my next payday, but I’m curious how long it can last. I need at least 2-3 tanks of gas because of Thanksgiving.

ps- Tuesday was a No Spend Day! I had a lunch waiting for me at work from the day before and I ran straight home and finished a red wool/silk shawl. Go figure.

I went out on Tuesday, but didn’t spend. The week before I treated myself to the broccoli cheese soup in a bread bowl, and promised myself I would look up the nutritional information before ordering it again. The bread itself is 590 calories, so it is a treat, not something to order every week.
