Eating in?
As promised, I’m checking in to tell you all how I did with my money
diet over the last week. Honestly, the first few days were a little
rough. As it turns out, the cafeteria at my office was featuring my
favorite dish: stir-fry. Hearst rotates the entrée offerings every
week. I’ve been anxiously awaiting stir-fry week since I started
working here. (What can I say? I’m a woman of simple pleasures.) So the
only right thing to do was treat myself. But, it sure did cost me. Take
a look at how I did: Wednesday: Stir-fry. $9.65. Thursday: Didn’t pack a lunch because I was planning to meet a
colleague. She bailed, so I headed to the cafeteria. (No stir-fry, too
pricey.) $4.88. Friday: Woke up late. No time to fix a sandwich. $7.04. Monday: Packed a sandwich and two string cheeses for snack! $0. Tuesday: Packed a lunch again! $0. Wednesday: Getting a free lunch at a media event today. $0. TOTAL: $21.57
