Spending log - $1.19 coffee +$17 lunch
So much for the 3 free lunches. I just caught up on this one.
Yesterday I discovered that I had no tomato sauce for the pasta sauce, so I made do last night with chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, and a bit of vinegar and water. Every so often, though, I need tomato sauce.
Here's where the price book gets depressing - the best price I saw was .95/14 oz can. Back in 2004 sauce was .33 - .44/can.
Then I checked out the pasta
2008 - $2.38/16 oz bag
mid 2007 - $1.50/16 oz bag
2005 - .69/16 oz bag
2004 - .67/16 oz bag
yikes at the grocery store

After I read that it became a goal for me--to earn enough interest money to conceivably pay for a daily coffee. I was so happy when I started earning more interest than that (moving into "venti latte" territory and beyond, you could say). Of course, these days I'm back down below daily-small-coffee. Sigh...
Anyway, I wondered if you remembered that. I'm sure you could buy yourself a lot more coffee these days!
Oh, and to answer your question on my blog--Broadview!
