July 31

One of my coworkers had a yard sale: $8.00  I didn't realize that I was buying a diabetic cookbook, but the books were all 5 for $1, so whatever.  The Godfather of Soul doll was calling my name; maybe it's because we're both from the same town in Georgia.  I think if I put in a battery and play music, it dances?


2 chicken and gizzard dinners from Dinah's Family Restaurant: $17.94

Daily total: $25.94
Monthly total: $2353.40
Total wasted: $19.74

July 30

Mongolian barbecue from The Great Khan: $9.87  Half of it was wasted.

Clothes and accessories from TJ Maxx: $60.87

Underwear from Macy's: $118.47.  This included a $10 donation to an HIV/AIDS charity. I returned the orange sweater and white pants that I bought earlier this month for a $113.37 refund.

Clothes from JC Penney: $70.04

Oil change and engine cleaner at Sears Auto Center: $120.95.

Stuff from Sam's Club: $223.33.  I didn't really want a new GPS unit, butthe maps on my old one haven't been updated since April 2009.  An updated map was $49.95, while the new unit with lifetime map updates was $149.95.

Snack from Sam's Club: $2.02.  Again, half of it was wasted.

Daily total: $594.68
Total wasted: $5.95

The cheese pizza slice returns, but the price has gone up: $2.49

I have a friend who does stand up comedy, and I've been promising him that I would go to one of his shows forever.  I finally made it to one this evening.

Admission to the The Federal Bar in north Hollywood: $10.00
Beer and tip: $10.00.  This is apparently a bargain in Los Angeles.

Total spending: $22.49

July 28

Lunch: $3.98.  The pic I took seems to have disappeared; it was a half turkey sandwich, bottle of water, and bag of cheddar flavored Sun Chips.  The chips had a funky weird chemical aftertaste; I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

Gas for the car, about 12.4 gallons: $47.42

Total spending: $51.40

July 27

One of my friends was lucky enough to escape our current place of employment.  My contribution to her going away pizza party was $8.00.

Hair stuff from WalMart: $7.83.  I already have all this stuff in my Los Angeles apartment, but it doesn't come in sizes that the TSA allows in carry on luggage.  So this stuff is being left at my mother's house in Georgia.

Total spending: $7.83
