April 3rd Spending

April 4th, 2011 at 02:56 pm

Sunday was a LOW spend day.

First I returned the sweatpants I purchased for my son. That was $8 that was gained, The sweatpants were on clearance for $2 each BUT the elastic waist bands were too loose. These bands were clearly made for a husky child not a regular and definately NOT my extra slim child.

Since I was doing the return, I also took in a Coupon for the Coffee I purchase during the Sweatpants trip so that was also a gain of $2. Total Gain $10

I gave My son his allowance of $5 and This Morning BF realized he forgot to hit the ATM and he asked if I had any cash, so he got the remaining $5. BF will be gone until Friday because he is going to an environmental Training course, he flew out this morning. So I am zero-ed out on the gain.

On Sunday I purchased groceries and Easter items.
I spent $8.85 at Wal-mart on groceries and $10.75 at the supermarket on groceries.

Easter Items:
I purchased a new easter basket for DS, I also bought him a stuffed animal for his easter basket. The easter basket was $9 the stuffed animal was $8. So $17 and I am done for Easter.

I know I did not really need to purchase a new Easter Basket BUT I did. The new one I will be using as a orginazational item once Easter is over. I don't know exactly what I will do with it but I do have LOTS of things around my house that would look so much nicer if they were contained together instead of spread all over the place. This basket looks nice and will do that. The primary reason I purchased a new basket was the old basket I was using was HUGE. I would say the bottom is 12 inches across and 18 inches deep with the top opening being 18 inches.

In years past I used to fill it up. It would cost maybe $200 to fill it up because I would put a Video game in it, Stuffed Animal, books, Candy, Oh and the Hersheys 2 foot tall Chocolate Bunny which cost $19.98 but is not available this year. This year after I put the stuff in that I had selected for the Basket it did not even covered the bottom, so I desided instead of presenting a nearly empty basket, and instead of buying more stuff to fill it up I would purchase a smaller basket. I could have purchased one for $2 but I looked at it and wondered if the basket would last even the day let alone being stored to be reused annually.


I also bought Medicine at Wal-Mart $8.23

When I update this tomorrow I will be removing the clothing expense and deducting $2 from the Easter Baskets since the coffee coupon was for the coffee I put in the baskets.
