Okay, so no one is interested in my Harry Potter post. What's with you guys? What do you want, another rant about why the yomim tovim are no good? Another tznius argument? Lashon Hara blasting Rabbis? or the all time favorite - Lakewood bashing!!
How about this- a list of my pesach expenditures:
clothing--------------approx. 295.00 (the kiddies-not me)
extra cleaning help----------40.00
Matza- 14 lbs at 18.50 lb ---259.00
first major food shopping-----400.00
husband sent out for more stuff----60.00
husband sent out for even more stuff----35.00
erev shabbos drop in for a "Few things"-----90.00
husband went out for forgotten stuff--------25.00
emergency replacement of pesachdik food processor---------32.00
chol hamoed trips--------------60.00 easy this year - only one trip day
afikomen presents--------------23.00, so far
pizza for after--------------20.00
total-----------------------1337.00
okay, I know this is nothing compared to some people but dont forget, I am lower middle income (stress on the LOWER)
I see some of the very large families in my neighborhood and I wonder HOW the Heck do they do it? also:
HOw the heck can we have eaten $897.00 WORTH OF FOOD IN 8 DAYS??
scary!!
and let me add- there are no leftovers!!
where did it all go?
