Welcome to another weekly edition of “Where Did The Dough Go?”.

Notes: A couple of month ago, I’m not sure why, but I stopped immediately saving 50% over our root income. We have been saving so much less since then and it sucks. After the holidays, I’m hoping to get back into doing that. I recently had to switch my multi-vitamins because they kept making me want to puke—that’s no way to start off the day. The new ones are pretty spendy but the guy at Whole Foods went and printed me a $5 off coupon in the office, so that was pretty cool. We’ll see how these work out; I also had to grab a few other vitamins too because we were out. Hope you had a good week. I’m still full from Thanksgiving.
