Auctions are rocking along.

Last night my cashmere sweater set ended at $102.50. My old Dansko clogs ended at, I think, $36.50. I am waiting to be paid for the Earth Shoe clogs, and there are two money orders on their way. I have thirteen items up now, six of which have bids. I have three holiday items waiting to be written up, a pair of Dansko sandals (Those black ones, I love them but they just don't look right on me) waiting to be photo'd and written up, and a few things hanging in the closet upstairs waiting to be ironed/photo'd/written up. I'm planning to hit Last Chance on Monday after the recall thing is done on the Forester (which hopefully will be quick). I need to buy a few more things to carry me through listing into November.

After the winner of the twin set paid me, I had more than $200 in my Paypal account so I transferred $50 to checking, and I'll transfer it again to ING (where I added $30 to our account, and the $50 will put the balance over $800). I also paid $15 on my eBay fees, and am going to snipe an auction for 25 bubble mailers.

Still am on a plateau WRT grocery spending. I spent $64 today at DFM, and thus far have spent $241 this month. That is too much! It's only the 7th. Quite honestly, we have plenty of food. The outside freezer is full. So is the fridge and the pantry. I'm going to really, really try to see if I can keep the grocery spending to a minimum.

The scholastic book order form came home today and it went right in the recycling. Those are the kinds of things I'm passing up in order to save money. I also, after much thought, decided not to renew my Mothering subscription. I can live without it. And I can renew it later on if we come into an inheritence or something. ;-)
