I have to say that I actually already feel my waist line getting smaller. I think that not eating out, with its high calorie content and sodium has made the difference, but only time will tell.
Right now, the only thing that is really painful is not eating out. Preparing meals takes more time and effort, but I also feel better during the day.
Last night, Chris and I made some chicken quesadillas. They were pretty good! I have really enjoyed the time that we get to cook together. We work pretty well in the kitchen as a team!
After we made dinner, we decided to rent a movie from Redbox and make funfetti cake! It's my favorite, and I think Chris is quite fond of it too. We got our Redbox movie for $0.00. How, you ask? By using one of their promo codes, of course! Unfortunately, we got "Remember Me" because I wanted to see it because I kind of love Edward. And I thought it would be a chick flick. Ummn, it's not. It was dissappointing, but we just kind of laughed it off. Definitely do not recommend watching it unless you want to be depressed.
All in all, we had a great date night though for just around $2.50 - the cost of this delicious treat!
Also watched a free Redbox movie tonight!:)
ReplyDeleteDon't be discouraged about your grocery trip. You'll get the hang of it. Remember to stock up on items you use a lot when they're really cheap; that will help you save more.
Also, think of the supplies you had to buy as an investment. Everytime you use them, they get "cheaper," because you've gotten another use of it.
Some blogs post their menu for the week. It can help you plan if they are local andbasing it on items on sale that week in your local stores. It can also give you ideas.
