Day Six (yesterday)…

January 25, 2009 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I didn’t get around to posting yesterday but am proud to say I spent no money. And this was despite the fact we went to Oklahoma City to a Ren Faire. David bought me a $9 pair of earrings for my wench costume but that was all we bought. We even resisted the siren call…

Day Five…

Despite the challenge, we are eating quite well. For dinner tonight I made chicken breasts in Parisian wine sauce, glazed carrots, mashed potato casserole and a green salad. I sautéed the boneless chicken breasts (seasoned with garlic salt, pepper, Creole seasoning and Herbs de Provence) in a combination of olive oil and butter. When nearly…

It seems rather silly to even post about this on such a momentous occasion but I can be silly with the best of them. Today I had to make a bank deposit for David who is still out of town. While in town I bought the following at Braum’s: lettuce – $1.69 2 tomatoes –…

Dinner…

January 20, 2009 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

David isn’t all that fond of fish so when he is away, Chris and I often take the opportunity to have fish or seafood of some sort. For some reason I can’t recall, I had bought a jar of Archer Farms brand basil pesto cream sauce at Target a couple of months ago. I’d never…

Or very little, anyway. David was paying bills yesterday before leaving on his business trip and I offered to forgo my bi-weekly household allowance to help cover Christmas charges on the credit card. He would never have asked me to do so and I had to insist. I have $102 and a bunch of change…
