Still don't have a kitchen update tally - can you say i am afraid to add it all up LOL... But i will by end of week .
Older dd needed a passport and has been out of work for 2 weeks due to a cheer injury and will be out another week till she can go back PT --so guess who paid for it !! But she is paying for the trip herself and at least the passport will last quite a few years !! That was 110 unexpected on top of the 80$ unexpected on the 2 specialist c0-pays for the injury.
Oldest ds has quit his PT banking job because his classes this semester are so much harder and he was getting sick from lack of sleep between working 20 hours a week and doing homework etc .
This will have some affect on my food bill as i - as a worried mom will do - will be buying some extra food and because he often needs to eat quick- some of it will be processed stuff like hot pockets - frozen dinners- extra canned soups -and extra pasta and jarred sauce for him to eat with as alot of his income went to meals - he has enough saved to cover his portion of the rental house and associated costs thru July and hopes for a FT paid internship this summer .
I haven't been keeping up with my coupons but have still been able to eat rather frugally here at home just watching loss leaders etc .
