My Day in the Halfway City

March 6th, 2022 at 03:01 pm

I had a really good time yesterday with BFF in our halfway city. We had lunch at a little diner we hadn't tried before. My lunch was $13, including the tip, so it was very reasonable. Then we shopped around the square. She bought some things, I didn't. But when we went to Goodwill, I did buy three small crockpots for $15. I have found they are ideal to use as humidifiers, much easier than a real humidifier, and I can tuck them into small spaces in various rooms. Winter is almost over, but it was worth it to make this purchase. I also ran into a BOGO sale for the melatonin I use, so I spent $14 for two bottles, and I bought gas for $20. I got it for $3.95 a gallon -- that's about .10 less than the cheapest gas in my area.

My Ancestry.com subscription hit my credit card yesterday. It's $189 and I'm logging it as a big ticket item rather than as a variable.  Variables are at 25%. 

After a beautiful, unseasonably warm day yesterday, it is cold and blustery today. We had thunderstorms all night, but I'm not complaining -- Iowa had it a lot worse.

    CB, do you pay for an international Ancestry membership?
    I dropped mine down to be US only when I wasn’t using it much, and it saved me some money while still keeping my access and research intact.

    No, mine is the US membership only.
