"I’m sure between dh’s gas consumption and mine, it is easily $300 less, maybe $400. Groceries, we’re spending more, because of everyone being home, and because I have been going to the more expensive store (Harris Teeter) because their staff are nice and I haven’t seen any customers having a meltdown there. I’m saving money due to no social things - no movies, no coffees with a friend, no Panera meal for book club, etc. This doesn’t add up to a huge amount, but it is a difference. I have spent money on materials for making masks. \n \n\n\n\tI am inadvertently saving money on hair maintenance, because there’s grey I would have long since had fixed. And ds (still) needs a haircut, which I am going to do but I think I have to actually make an “appointment” with him so I won’t be interrupting his online stuff (sometimes lessons, sometimes social). I saved money getting my garden started simply because I wasn’t able to buy what I would have. \n \n\n\n\tTodays my birthday and dh’s birthday just passed. Dd’s birthday is next week. Less money is being spent on every birthday. Dd is presently making lasagna for dinner tonight and has made me a carrot cake, my favorite. Nothing fancy. I could really go for some Mosel region wine with my dinner but - non-essential. So I’ll have to live with that. \n "
