And what did I do while he was gone? It was suggested I go see a movie (I looooove seeing movies by myself, yet I have not done it for awhile). However, we are poor so I opted for something else. This is how it went down:
First...I had a date with H&M at the awesome mall
(only looks were had...it was a PG date since I can't buy anything, but still worth it)
Next:
See's candy sample = free
Jr. Roast beef from Arby's = 1$
Hard taco from Taco Bell = 1$
French Fries from McDonald's = 1$
(yeah, I drove to all three and Portland does not have sale tax so a dollar was really a dollar!!)
Next:
From Red Box
We bought a zoo = 1$
The help = free!
The hunger games = free!
BOOM that's right. I had a date with myself and only spent 4$ (and a little gas) instead of whatever a movie would have cost and watched three great movies (I recommend them all) and did it all in my pajamas (except the mall of course, I actually took time and got all done up for that. Must always look your best for the clothes).
Now, should I really brag when I could have spent no money since we are dirt poor? Hmm....yeah I just re-read the top about the resort and bla bla bla...I don't feel so bad anymore...we just might be eating more potatoes than normal.

ReplyDeleteWay to be frugal! Sounds like you are perfecting the artform. Congrat's on the diploma too! I loved the "bomb fire" that is HILARIOUS! The posted also allowed me to realize that I had bookmarked the wrong page on your blog! (my mom was chuckling while I was on the phone with her and I thought she was laughing at me) Turns out I have been checking for weeks not realizing I was missing all of your WONDERFUL posts!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I still need to link your blog to the side of mine so I'm glad you commented and I'll get on top of that. Hope life is grand.
