Weekend Updates

July 4th, 2010 at 02:55 am

Hello again and thanks everyone for the very warm welcome!

This weekend is shaping up to be a bit on the spendy side. Friday I took DD2 to get some glasses. We have pretty good vision insurance but our out of pocket ended up at $117.00. That is the differnce between what the frames cost and what our insurance allows. We also got the antiglare/antiscratch coating. Insurance pays some on that so we had to pay the rest. I will be submitting this to my flexible spending account next week for reimbursement.

Today, DH spent $140 on some wheels for his car. A couple of his are scratched up and this guy was selling 4 for $150. DH went out and took a look at them and said they were in great shape so he felt he got a good deal.

I spent the morning at my mom's house pricing garage sale stuff. We had done some major purging a few months ago and then my mom decided to have a sale....well I did manage to find some stuff and had the girls go through their rooms to find stuff too. We will be having the sale with my sister also at the end of July. Felt good to get it all done. Went grocery shopping too. I usually get groceries on Sunday after the coupons come out. Since this is a holiday weekend there will probably be few. Plus we are headed out of town tomorrow for the day so we won't be around. Also picked up a prescription for DH at $10 which will also be submitted next week for reimbursement.

Tomorrow shouldn't be too terribly expensive....gas, dinner out, and a treat...probably ice cream for DH and girls and an iced coffee for me.

I hope everyone has a very wonderful and safe 4th of July!

    Welcome from another PNW (if you count Northern Coastal California)!

    That is great that you have decent eye insurance - any special kinds of glasses can lead to some very high costs. My glasses are usually very reasonable, but my wife's vision is worse and her glasses cost about 3-4 times what mine do.

    Hi. I am glad that you are paying down your debt, or at least trying. I'm not sure what your budget looks like, if you use one, and what your salary is per month. The only thing that I would have to criticize is spending 150 dollars on tires that were "just scratched." Personally, that would be a waste of money and wouldn't allow me to pay down any of my other debt. I don't want to sound like I'm all high and mighty, or a rich person.....farther from the truth, but we all need to change our attitudes towards money. I did, however, just spend almost 200 dollars on two new tires (and those were the cheapest!), but they were falling apart (literally the rubber was eatten away and the metal was showing). Please don't take offense to my post, it was not my intention.
