Yeah on the C...I hope Hubs is still mending well. <br /><br />Yeah on the Christmas Eve Chinese savings. Since you saved over $ 69.+ for the week I would say you had a terrific week. All those little amounts do add up.<br /><br />I would have loved to get more free Coke too but I will be happy to use it when Hubby's 2 bottle are gone. I truly hate paying for soda so this free 12 pack will make me happy and Hubby happy too. <br /><br />I hear you on the gasoline increase which I am assuming is tax. New York taxes us to death on gasoline. But we have also had a $.39 per gallon increase in price the past couple of months. I expect it will continue going up too. So since I won't be doing much grocery shopping getting gas points , I will again be watching for the best discounted gas price. Gas buddy will be handy.<br /><br />I did the same thing you did on the medications. We don't get them free since we have co-pays that run from $ 10.00 to $ 50.00 per prescription, However we hadn't been notified yet of as to whether the co-pays would increase in 2017. We got notification yesterday and they didn't. However we got the highest increase in our medical supplementary policy since we retired over 16 years ago. UGH!<br /><br />You are so lucky to be able to have a choice of doing things on off peak hours. I miss that. I took full advantage of those when we lived in AZ. But in NY, we don't have a choice. It costs the same no matter when we do things.<br /><br />I wish you,your Hubs, and your children a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Multiplied by 52 and you've got $3500 less out of pocket. I'm doing mathercize in my head for 2017 to find the savings.SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485146123969622896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-51197128614002676182016-12-30T23:09:39.446-05:002016-12-30T23:09:39.446-05:00Sounds like some bargains.

Since it is bowl season we are going no where ( except to the lake) so my expenses are almost nil. <br />We are in a drought so I am only washing at the lake place. Instead of packing I am lugging laundry baskets in. At home they are severely limiting usage and we are already at one of the lower tiers they set Doing everything possible to keep our usage low. Our neighbors got hit with a 400 buck bill but ours was only about 5 bucks higher than normal so I will continue to take my laundry to the lake where our water bill is always 21 dollarsAnne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.com
