Didn't go downtown after all. DD is sick and may in fact have chicken pox. I'm keeping an eye on her. So no money spent downtown, but I did go to the grocery store for soup, Vitamin C/echinacea for kids, etc. Oh well - money spent there was just a bit less than the money I made tutoring today, so it all works out if you look at it like that.
I am going to change slightly the spreadsheet I made yesterday. I'm going to add in my checking account balance as well, and create a separate line to show the growth of our savings for DD's college expenses.
Frugal things we did today -
Ate dinner at home (ate all meals at home, for that matter)
Baking blondies right now, for a treat to enjoy at home
Sort of frugal -
Took advantage of DH's employee discount to get ski clothes for DD (the way they fit, they ought to last two seasons, and then we can hand them down to friends who have a DD three years younger than DD)
I still need to set up that new share certificate with the credit union. I keep forgetting to do that.
DD's sick
