Monday: eggs
            salad & nectarine
            lean cuisine

Tuesday: yogurt and granola
            stir fry
            chili

Wednesday: granola bar
            kabobs
            SmartOne

Thursday: powerbar
            soup & carrots
            burrito

            salad
            roast beef rolls & yogurt

            lunch out w/ the family at Mexican Restaurant!

time to buckle down.

I've been slacking lately. Not being as careful as I should be about my money. I've been making all my payments and all that, so I thought I was good. But now I'm really starting to feel it. 


My car is busted. 


I absolutely HATE my car. I have for a long time and I've been wanting to get a new one. But now it's really on it's last limb and I have NO money to replace it. None. Nada.  


Now I'm really wishing I had been saving more and spending less. 
So I'm going to get back on track


Back to meal planning, food waste etc...


I've already put my netflix account on hold. Course that only saves me $10. But hey, that's $10!
