Budget Report Week 5 Cash Monday

It’s that time again, Cash Monday. This week we did pretty good. We went out to breakfast three times, once at Cracker Barrel and twice at Denney’s across the street from the Christmas tree lot. We picked up lunch at McDonald’s once (I had mine with no bun, of course). We drove across town looking for a particular store that sells Bio-Kleen dishwashing detergent because it is the only one that does not wreak havoc on my hands. (after we got there we found out they don’t carry it in the store after all, but we got some really good stuffed olives instead)

This week, we have an appointment to get some work done on the truck. We got one of those superchips two years ago, which really does boost the horsepower on our Ford F-250. Now we are going to get a custom exhaust done, and that will improve the performance of the engine, too.

When we were in Pennsylvania in 2007, FabGrandpa had talked to a mechanic there who quoted a price of over $1300. We were pleasantly surprised when the guy here in Phoenix told us it would be only $890 and that includes heat gauges! So, that little job will take place tomorrow.

The same day, I am going to the radiology place to get the ultrasound done on my arm. They quoted me a price of $100, which will come out of my pocket since I have no health insurance. (we call it self insured. what else can you do?) We also have to pay for the service done on our refrigerator last week over at the RV dealership(more on that later). That will be $120 or so. We haven’t paid them yet because we still have some things that need doing under warranty. We have to take the trailer back over there on Wednesday to finish that up.

So, while we are doing great on our spending money budget, we seem to be breaking the bank in other areas. This week’s bottom line is: we have a total of $14.11 left in our pockets. That puts us under budget for the entire period by $100.05. That should pay for my ultrasound. Whoo hoo!

    I love your budget idea and hope you will continue to share frugal ideas with the rest of us. I’m so thankful that you will be able to afford the ultrasound.
