A cost of staying home I hadn't thought about in a while: We go through toilet paper a lot faster!
Groceries (including TP): $11.43 (plus $1.51 that went on a gift card)
AS state tax owed: $3
Total: $14.43
Other than that, we did some spending with our pocket money ... I know NT got something on eBay for about $7, I bought a small soy latte ($5 with tip! Yikes!), and I got McD's breakfast for me and AS ($9.25; yikes again! I don't do fast food or coffeeshops often, so rising prices tend to startle me).
I've been comforting myself with junky treats, I know. My mom is in a hospital; I found out Monday during the day. I haven't written about it here because I've been using that energy to write to family and friends on Facebook, receiving and passing along updates. Anyway, it's probably pretty bad. Still some things we need to find out more about. I will write more at some point when I have more energy (and more details).

as for tp, i started buying ours at cvs when its on sale. in the past, i got two 10.00 gift cards in addition to buying tp cheaper than anywhere in town. worth the extra stop.

Just wanted to let you know that your Mom will be among my prayer intentions this morning. I can't really say anything other than that that sounds OK. (hugs) BTW, I have noticed that with DH around more (due to the long weekend, etc) we go through ground coffee a lot faster that when he's not around all the time.
