It's raining...again! Seems we've had a lot of rain and storms move through over the last week or so. But, it's a good thing. It had been so dry that the ground was cracking. I was telling our neighbors that the rain here is different from back home in Eastern Washington. Here, when it rains, it pours...none of that drizzle or sprinkle stuff. And, it stays warm. So, right now it is pouring outside and it is still in the low 80's.
Okay, so DAY 2 of the challenge went well and I even did some shopping! I took a stack of books to Half-price books and sold them for $10.50. And, I resisted the urge to spend it there, that was hard! Then, I went to Ross to return a pair of shoes that didn't fit. I was over 30 days so instead of a refund I got store credit, so really I HAD to shop there. I was given $10.81 in store credit and found another pair of sandals (that fit) for a total of $14.06. So, with my store credit I only spent $3.25.
My last stop was Kroger. (Side note: the new Kroger at TCU is really cool!) I purchased milk, bananas, spinach, yogurt and 92/8 ground beef and spent $12.57 total. So, my total net spending today was only $5.32!!! That should get us through the weekend. Oh, and I did get an iced coffee at Starbucks, but I used a gift card for that so no extra costs.
Today's menu:
Breakfast: eggs and cold cereal
Lunch: boys - PB&H sandwiches
C & C - Greek salad with steak
Dinner: baked chicken w/ spinach and couscous salad
Its fun to see your menu! I love to see what people I know who eat healthfully and are trying to live within their means are eating:)
