Well, we spent more than we wanted to but hey, things happen! One thing we had to buy was a toner cartridge for one of the smaller printers we use. We had to have it pronto so we bought it at Circuit City, the only place that had it, for about $81.18. Ouch! We also bought groceries at Sav-A-Lot and spent $86.27 but that will last us through the rest of the month except for milk, eggs, and a little fresh produce. Then we had to pay the cell phone bill (it's behind and was about to cut off) and that was $63. We're going back to Tracfone, though, as that's a lot cheaper for us and we don't have to worry about a bill.

We're now about $500 away from the $1200 we need by the 28th. The water bill is due before that and the electric bill is due right after that so even if we get to the $1200 we still need another $250 or so. Arggh, it never ends! But there's light at the end of the tunnel. We think.
