It was certainly a different kind of a month for me. Not having a car makes big impact. I spent more than usual eating out -- mostly stops for coffee and a light snack while I was walking. A bit more for medical, even though the bills haven't really started to roll in yet. These were co-pays and medication, etc. My personal spending was mostly for skin care items which needed to be replaced. The biggie, of course, is the $500 for the car repair. That was my deductible.

This morning I got a medical bill for a test -- $120 -- which I have already paid. I also spent $15 for snacks from Walgreens, where I stopped on my morning walk.

Not bad overall, CB. Just curious, do any of these places you where you stop have loyalty programs that might help you shave off a little bit here and there?

I don't know, I'll have to investigate that. Most of the places I stop for coffee are Mom & Pop type places. I like to support them.
