Picked up the car yesterday -- $1118. But that's better than having a gas tank with a hole in it. Now that I know the muffler is not good, I can hear how noisy the car is. I'll start making plans to get that done.
I charged it on Discover, as I usually do. However, within the same cycle, the second half of my rug bill will hit -- about $1000. That will mean hitting the EF to pay Discover off in full. As much as it hurts, I remind myself that I used to just charge things like that and plan to pay it off, oh, someday.... How good it feels not to go into debt!
We had lunch at a Mexican place, my treat, for $55. I bought gas ($42). When I got home I went grocery shopping. It was my first trip in two weeks and I only spent $42. I surprised myself with my restraint!
I think the cashier ignored the $1 off coupon I gave her. It's not on my receipt. Really, I have to stop shopping at that store. The cashiers are uniformly awful!
Grilling out at the ex's tonight. It's cold -- I hope we're eating in! I'm going to take some crudités and dip. I expect that not much will get eaten and I'll take most of them back! He always provides way too much food!

I often take wine as a hostess gift except in situations like you describe. When invited to places with too much food, I usually bring items I particularly like. Recently went to a community BBQ and brought quality buns my family loves knowing I'd most likely take the leftovers home. Glad I didn't bring wine as none was served.
Car: Except for the unfortunate gas tank damage, do you think your transportation costs have noticeably increased or decreased by taking train/monthly train pass? Does all the walking add a health benefit?
