I win! Until payday (tomorrow), I have $20 in my name due to the sudden lack of OT, and a mistake that cost me more that the check was worth with the bank (I cashed a postdated check in the ATM; it was for $19.50, the fee was $20, it was only 1 day ahead!! Still haven't gotten that back yet). So, in need of food, I hit the grocery store produce section, and the grocery outlet. People, I spent barely over $5. And I rocked it!
Items obtained for $5:
-2 14 oz cans of low sodium diced tomatoes (0.25 per)
-1 can of olives ($1)
-2 green bell peppers (.56 each)
-1 white onion (.40)
-1 bulb of garlic (.25)
-1 bunch of green peppers (.30)
-1 cucumber(.40)
-1 lb penne ($0.76)
-1 head of red lettuce (.75)
Come on, that is a huge meal! A salad and penne in homemade marinara sauce with olives? Mmmmmm, gonna eat so good for the next 3 days. Grocery outlet stores rock!
It's supposed to snow this weekend; I doubt it'll stick, but tomorrow is also supposed to be the first time we dip below 32. I've already prepped my long johns and underarmor under-layers for tonight!
(BTW: I'm trying to get into the habit of posting again, and will overshare like mad woah to do so. Please forgive long, over-personal posts for this reason)
