Nothing Exciting: Just Not Spending

May 26th, 2006 at 03:28 am

I’m just bopping along in frugal land, racking up the no spend days without effort. I pack lunches, my needs are met, what do I need to spend on? That’s a good thing, because May was not the best on medical expenses, and June promises some other hits, such as water aerobics, and July in car insurance.

I’d like to finish May off with maybe a grocery run and that’s it. I think I might have another gas hit to drive 3 hours round trip to Clear Lake, but that’s to see family, and My Guy and I will have a fine time. He’s planning on packing lunches for the drive; so nice to not have to convert someone.

A lot of the free clothes I got are working out very well. I’ve gotten some compliments, and I keep blurting “It was free!” The nice thing is that a lot of people have responded “That’s the best-free clothes” or “I love getting hand-me-down from my sister” (mom, etcetera.) Nice to know that my co-workers not only aren’t snobby, but think free hand me downs are darned cool. I’m talking up Freecycle a lot.

There's a bill in California that might bump the minimum wage from $6.75 to $7.75. Boy, I'd be rich that that extra $150 plus.
