Little Luxuries

February, 18, 2011

Part-time paycheck: $163.94 (weekly)

Expenditures:              $70.50 household/personal care/food
                                        10.00 haircut (with coupon)
                                        41.80 gasoline
                                        27.63 groceries
                                          8.53 shirt laundry
                                          4.06 frozen pizza               

I realize professional shirt laundry is an unnecessary expense, but we don’t have shirts done frequently, as I do launder Mr. Struggle’s daily work shirts.   The ones we send out are dress shirts for church and other “social occasions.”  The laundry only charges 88c each,  and is en route to the part-time job.  Just a little luxury that I consider well worth the price.  What are little luxuries have you kept in your life?
