A couple from church downsized and was giving away a lot of stuff. I got a NIB Ninja food processor with a dough blade, plus a nice 6qt pot.

I expect to finish the month within budget. Next month I want to hit another big expense - either get some home heating oil or pay my property taxes due 11/1. Will see what oil prices are like.
Asked a coworker if she wanted to try carpooling. Won’t work as she shares a car with her partner and he starts much earlier than she does and not close by our office either. Was worth a shot.
Had a little extra in my budget for the month so got some clothing basics:
A second pair of sneakers so they have a day to air out between wearings
Underpants as the ones I have are wearing out/ripping on the side
Two long sleeved shirts to get me until it's pullover sweater weather. I used to wear short sleeved shirts with cardigans, but most of the short sleeved shirts are stained and the cardigans wearing out (sleeves so loose I could put the upper part of my leg in them, holes in the neck). I have been wearing company shirts but City meetings will be starting again in the fall and I don't want the company logo on cable access TV associated with my activism. I do that on my own.
So nothing extravagant and I now have $20 in Kohls cash so I can get something free or nearly so.
Welcome back lunch for the teacher resulted in a ton of untaken/unwanted leftovers. I now have enough chicken parm for several meals, as well as trying to come up with some other ways to use. Definitely helping ease the grocery bill!

Tried Spray 'n Wash again on some old tops and some I think I can now wear, at least on the weekend, if they are not too tight.
Try Brake Clean... spray on and immediately wash. Cheap and VERY effective.
Nice score, Happy!
Jeppy: A 50/50 mix of hydrogen peroxide and blue Dawn is one of the best stain removers I've ever found. I actually think I might have learned that one from this group.
