Weekend errands

August 14th, 2005 at 07:14 am

I like routines, especially now. It feels good to follow a weekend itinerary that I've had for years. Saturday is chase day - grocery and the errands that piled up over the week.

I have a couple of grocery stores and price book. I use a price book regularly but it really only guarantees that you won't completely get ripped off. Sometimes you need what you need, no matter the price, so the price book can depress you a bit. For example, today is 20% off produce day at the first grocery store - got a couple of good deals on some produce, but I thought I'd wait to buy a couple items at grocery store #2, where they were traditionally a little cheaper. Big mistake - the items were pricier by .20/ lb. Sigh. My sanity, time and DHs gas are precious. Buy only what you need and move on. Smile

Mailed a couple of light boxes and got stamps. Gotta check on postal service rates - UPS is getting to be seriously, seriously spendy.

We went to a late afternoon matinee at the $3 movie theater and saw the Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. It made me cry at the end. Haven't seen a movie in months.

I made gazpacho and blue cheese potato salad. Should hold us for a few days. We graze from the refrigerator over the summer.

Spending log:
grocery stores - 22.48+6.64, mailing boxes - 26.46, movie - 3.00

Saving log: not a darn thing.

Monday payday!
