Walked with mom for 55 min.

Got my check for the stocks I sold on Tuesday. Also got a certificate for $5 off at Media Play.

Cleaned master bath.

Went to grocery store and spent 24.69. Saved 14% buying sell items, not so good. Bought mostly produce, but also splurged on a frozen pizza. Had the pizza for dinner.

Total for month = 61.34

Finished reading Cheap Talk with the Fruagl Friends by Angie Zalewski and Deana Ricks. It was an average saving book. It did have two good ideas though and anytime I learn something new the book is worth reading.

Idea number 1 was to ask places that develop photos from disposable cameras what they do with the AA batteries. They said one place gave them the discarded batteries for free and they bought 10 batteries for a $1 from Wal-Mart. All the batteries were still good. I'll have to ask next time I'm in that kind of store.

Idea number 2 was a recipe to make a dry mix to which you add water to make a cream soup.

2 1/2 cups flour
2 cups dry milk
1/2 cup bouillon posder
2 tbls onion powder
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp pepper

To make soup combine 1/2 c mix with 1 1/2 cups water to make the equivalent of 1 can of cream soup.

I also read Killing Floor by Lee Child. A mystery. It was pretty good - a fast read.
