(except the banana smoothie, since I hate bananas in drinks) If my husband goes out of work, we'll have to think about a tight budget.

What I end up spending $$ on are Lean Cuisine or Weight Watchers meals that I take to work for lunch. I should get back into making the mondo batch of soup and eating that all week, but I have zero motivation. And FB takes up a lot of my time as well. lolJoJohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460203489560847658.post-90358477566096642742008-12-15T14:51:00.000-08:002008-12-15T14:51:00.000-08:00JoJo, Yes, those prepared foods can really add up....JoJo, Yes, those prepared foods can really add up. I know what you mean. And, after all these years, I've recently come down with a bit of a Starbucks habbit (those peppermint mochas this time of year--I can't resist them). I thought I was immune to falling for $4 cups of coffee, but I guess I'm vulnerable after all.Danger Pandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15398147887114002182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460203489560847658.post-58736467343086646672009-01-10T11:05:00.000-08:002009-01-10T11:05:00.000-08:00I've developed this odd hobby since I've b...I've developed this odd hobby since I've been single: bargain shopping and frugality. <a href="www.moneysavingmom.com" rel="nofollow">This</a> website is one of my addictions. <br><br>And yes, I've actually taken up "CVS-ing," believe it or not. It gives me an odd thrill not to have to pay for toothpaste and shampoo anymore. It's not like I've become cheap or anything, though.
