Cheap Dinner

February 19th, 2020 at 01:33 pm

Dinner out with the boys last night was pretty inexpensive. I had a $5 coupon for Corner Bakery, and I used the balance of my gift card from the House Calls program, so I only paid $7 out of pocket. I had soup, and the boys had mac & cheese and linguine with meatballs.

My prescription was cheap as well -- only $3 -- but the CoQ10 is not cheap. I did remember this from previous flirtations with it. I bought a double pack of 100 mg tablets because it was the lowest unit price. The total price was $41. If it turns out to be effective, I can get it cheaper by going to Sam's and by using the OTC program through my Medicare Advantage plan.

I did a little research on the supplement, and it seems it has a lot of potential benefits besides helping with muscle pain, so I am encouraged about using it. No pain so far, but I've only taken one statin tablet!

After my gym session yesterday, I stopped at Sam's gas pump and spent $16 to fill up the tank. My variables are at 66%, but with $1800 in extra expenses looming over me, doing well in variables is not too exciting.

Anyway, today is payday, so I'm going to take care of business after I wrap up here!

    CB, have you thought about looking into the census jobs for a short term, part time financial boost?

    When I think about the census, I think about having to go door to door, but I think most of the census is computerized this year, and there are back office jobs available. You can check this out at 2020census.gov.

    You have to pass a background check, but I don’t think that would be an issue for you.

    I think you have used Ancestry, so you know how useful the census information is to the future, and making sure everyone counts is important for everything from representation to federal money for your area!

    No, that doesn't really appeal to me. I think I'm just done with piddly jobs. I love retirement and its freedom, and I worked hard to get here! I'll get past this run of bad luck; it will just take a little time.

    Hope the supplement works!
