Smart. I'm not sure I want to know.

Okay, today we went to the farmer's market and I bought 2 lbs of asparagus, 1/2 lb arugula, 1/2 baby spinach, 1 bunch baby carrots, a box of cherry tomatoes and a small baby cupcake for myself and a lavender shortbread for TH.

Total cost: 20 bucks. The veggies will be salad for dinner tomorrow night with friends, arugula for my arugula, walnut and ff feta salads for work, the cherry tomatoes will be used for insalata caprese for this weeks lunches (mixed with fresh basil and baby mozz balls) and served over ww pasta, asparagus will be for dinner tonight and wednesday night.

Carrots are for Ernest the teether or lala the hungry.

The cupcake (sans frosting) was devoured by yours truly and TH has yet to eat the shortbread.

I spent 50 bucks today on flowers. Don't ask, its not worth even trying to figure out where that money comes from....

Morrigan - your spreadsheet is a great way to see where you can save some money. Just tracking can show you where your money goes and you may be surprised at some hidden spending.

I found that we were spending a lot of money on soda and unless there's a sale the price is usually about $5.99 to $6.99 for a case of 24 at 2 per week. We were spending about $56/month on soda!

Now we only buy soda if we are having guests over for movies or a bbq etc. and DH hardly misses it all.

We spend alot on soda, and DH was bad about opening a can and taking 2 drinks out of it, and then forgetting about it. So we switched to 2 liters. He just puts enough for what he wants to drink at the moment in the cup, and doesn't waste hardly any, we buy the cheap ones at walmart for .50.
