Living better, spending less.
I sort of took a vacation last week. I didn’t feel much like doing anything, frugal or otherwise. I did a little shopping but my heart wasn’t in it. I also didn’t much feel like cooking, so we ate a little less well than usual. So, as always, some of my meals are getting “recycled” until I actually get around to making them.
Monday Meal Plan
Monday: asparagus, fried potatoes and bearnaise sauce. yum! turns out that asparagus doesn’t like sitting in the crisper for a week and a half (darned lazy streak!) but it tasted fine anyway
Tuesday: ziti with roasted vegetables — this is (inexplicably) probably Evelyn’s favorite food.
Wednesday: macaroni and cheese, veggies
Thursday: Quizno’s – free sub!
Friday: fettucini alfredo with broccoli
Want to get a free sub from Quizno’s, too? Get your own here while supplies last. My husband and I both signed up, so it should be a cheap dinner. The coupon says that a photo ID is required, so you probably want to use your real name! I have only been there once before and honestly, neither of us were terribly impressed, but I’m willing to give them another try for the price. I still kind of hate them because of the creepy commercials they used to air, the ones with the singing rodent.
When I became a stay-at-home-mom, I promised I could save our family money by shopping sales and maybe even using a few coupons. I had no idea what I was getting into. These days, I am on a first-name basis with the cashiers at the local drugstores, I haven't paid for toothpaste or shampoo in over a year and I spend my free time here, helping others do the same. So please, make yourself at home while you learn how to save, and when to spend!
