Who turned on the lights?

Posted 08-25-2008 at 03:46:07 AM by BigDog

Forget debt. Wow, didn't see this one coming (but, I should have).

$300 Electric bill this month!
$100 Water bill

Everything else was fine. But, $400 when I expected about $200-$250 for both.

Forget debt. Turn off the lights!

On a side note. I found that if I turned the computer off at night I saved $12 a month. Took about 3 months of "experimenting".


No money to get coupons, pay for debt, or take kids bowling this month.

Ugh, oh well.

Guess what I have gotten at Winn-Dixie.

BREAD!

I spent (last paycheck, before I got my 2 big bills), 20 Sara Lee coupons. Shipped for $14.

I thought .71 (.01 tax) was a good amount to pay for the bread we like to have.

Then, Winn-Dixie went BOGO.

So we (with tax) are paying .39 a loaf of bread!

Plus, we have 40 loaves of bread in the freezer to have around when I forget to go to the store and pick it up!
