• Montclair Bread Co., rosemary bread loaf, toasted ciabatta roll with butter, medium coffee and one small donut plus jar tip, $13.50.
• Jackie's Grillette, large coffee with almond milk to bring to Figgy, who was at work next door, and fancy roasted cauliflower with peanut sauce and also roasted portobello mushrooms to take to today's book group lunch, way too expensive, $28.66. I was too tired and busy to buy vegs and roast or steam them.Wasteful. You will notice I added two new post labels: OVERSPENDING and SHOPPERS ANONYMOUS. I will try to highlight in color every day the OVERSPENDING items.

Someone once told me the holiday fair supplements the low salaries of the teachers at our parish school, so I'm happy to support it every year. $50 gift basket raffle tickets, $4 bakery table, $25 many paperwhite bulbs in planter, $22 given to Punch because she went for hours with her friends and there was food, etc. Equals $101.
