Since it appears that my 'celebration' of President's Day involves spreading a few dead presidents around town I decided to take advantage of the time off and pick up a few small household and grocery items. I have $217 left of my food budget and $8 left in the household budget (did not include the new faucet, that is a home repairs budget item) and was in need of few things. I did pick up and pay for new sponges for the school cafeteria but will be reimbursed the $3.78 from petty cash. I spent a total of $42.46.
Grocery expenditures: $28.75.. I came home with a bag of spinach, four large red bell peppers, a bag of broccoli slaw, a bag of field greens, a pint of grape tomatoes, 4 cans of corn, a pint of half and half, a bottle of red wine vinegar, a bottle of white balsamic vinegar, a case of lemon flavored sparkling water, two bottles of plain seltzer water, and two cans of Arnold Palmer Lite.
Household expenditures: $13.71 (over budget here) and came home with a new dustpan, two packs of sponges for the cafeteria, two rolls of shelf liner for under the sink, a shower curtain liner to replace the torn and tattered one currently hung at the top of the cellar steps, two new green reusable shopping bags, and a two pack of Yardley oatmeal and almond soap (hoping it will help the mid winter dry itching ).
Nancy, look for "hotel style" or "heavy duty" vinyl shower curtains. they are noticably thicker and last much, much longer. RE: dry skin, look for products with Shea butter in it, it helps.
