Saturday's Spendings
$19.95 Oil change for hubby's van
$30.00 Replenish EZ-Pass
$4.35 Potting soil
(1) Hubby can easily change the oil in my Jeep, but when it comes to his van, it's better to pay someone else to change the oil. (He's not as limber as he was 30 years ago! 
)
(2) We depleted our balance in the EZ-Pass account when we drove to Philadelphia last weekend to visit our son. I had completely forgotten to budget this expense, but luckily there's enough money in the gas/repair account to draw from. EZ-Pass has now been added to the budget (quarterly expense).
(3) We needed more potting soil to transplant the rest of the pepper plants into the raised beds. Hubby was able to return some plumbing fixtures to Home Depot, so we used some of that refund to pay for the dirt. (And we still have $10 on a Home Depot card)

Saturday's Frugal Triumphs
Avoided using the dryer today, and hung a load of laundry outside on the clothesline
Recycled more mini-blind slats into
Recycled 2-liter soda bottles into upside down pepper plant containers

Ramblings
I'm excited that this is the first year I had my garden planted before June 1st! I have string beans, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, carrots, red potatoes, russet potatoes, habanero peppers, red bell peppers, leeks, chives, garlic, strawberries, and iceberg lettuce. I think I might splurge and get some squash and leaf lettuce with the rest of the money on the Home Depot card.
I'm also excited that I found SavingAdvice. The blogs and forums are so motivating! I may not post much, but I do read a lot.
