Victories
- Washed my car myself
- Made all my meals, and used food I had (mostly -- see below). Including a quinoa pilaf with leftover onion, tomato, frozen corn, lime juice, and the chile peppers someone from work brought in from their garden last week
- Planned lunches ahead for the week
Costs
- $2.89: Eggs and milk
Slips
- Well, I did go out and buy eggs to make zucchini bread, but that's not really a slip is it? And I also got milk because I'm going to make myself eat the cereal I bought for making Puppy Chow. No more letting things go bad and then throwing them out. I REALLY wanted to go buy chips to eat while watching Dr. Phil. But I resisted... mainly because I knew I'd have to admit to it here
Insights
So often I buy food for one recipe and let the rest go to waste. The basil I bought to make pesto shrivels to a slimy mess in the refridgerator drawer. The baguette goes stale and the brie grows mold that I thought would be a good snack one night and then didn't feel like eating it again. NO MORE!!!
