Who turned on the lights?

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!
