Money Saver!

We just got back from a huge grocery trip and had $56.18 total savings.

$35.68 were "preferred" savings - the store's member card benefits and $20.50 were coupons I brought to the store! Woohoo!

I just started a new job over the weekend that is a new business so it's been a bit hectic working before and after closing and even today when we were supposed to be closed. I haven't been cooking much except a big pot of quinoa and mixed veggies I divided into a few meals. The rest have been take-out or microwave things when I had the time.

I need to get back into the groove of things and work out some form of a schedule. I tried to purchase a lot of friendly things that will aid making work-night dinners and lunches I can bring to work. I'm a big fan of bringing home-made meals to work. It's healthy and it's cheap. Otherwise I end up spending way too much money per day on food and drinks and my thighs start to show the adverse affects!
