Road trip! Lots of scenery-hope the drive home was scenic and not scary weatherwise.

Notice these April Fool's jokes today?

Hope the repair place zeroes on in the faulty component in the A/C unit very fast!

Dh let him help him with the bandage after his shower last night. He said that he was worried about my reaction and thought that it might upset me further if it looked worse than I had expected. I have already been quite upset due to the medical staff errors. Dh was quite happy with the surgeon. Dh is on 10 days of antibiotics to help avoid infection.

I got my van back yesterday. They updated something in the computer, which they thought was the problem. It was covered. I was told to bring it back if it starts causing me trouble again.

This morning did one large load of laundry, washed all the dishes, vacuumed and cleaned out my van, then made a quick lunch. My trip to Sobeys this afternoon was more eventful than it should have been. I ultimately spent $113.20 at Sobeys and received 510AM back, which equals $53.68 towards future purchases. I used $11 in coupons and got 25c back from CO51.

Since I have been using cash only for all my purchases, I have come under budget for my groceries, and misc spending. I have over $200.00 left and this extra cash gets rolled over to the next month. I would normally spend almost $1000.00 a month in food and misc, but since I have been tracking every dime I can't believe how much there left over. (In my household to be under budget for groceries is unbelievable!!)

I'm tracking money spent but my pitfalls are impulse buys including deals I cannot pass up. I admire your underspending on groceries!
