- Found $30 on the ground on a walk! I was so excited. What a fun surprise.
- Made all dinners at home. (Lunch is free for the adults at work.)
- Drove the electric car for commuting all week, and charged for free at work.
- Took advantage of a free class at work that I've been wanting to take.
- No other purchases during the week. This is something that we consistently do every week, but our schedules are so crazy, we don't buy anything M-Thurs. Friday is usually included, but occasionally I slide a few errands in there, time permitting. It works well to keep spending in check.
So, a pretty quiet frugal week, but I'll take it! And, for those wondering about the peanut noodle bowl recipe I posted last week, it was great. I added diced chicken, and served with cilantro, sriracha, fresh lime squeezed on it, and peanuts on top. I thought it could be a bit spicier, but the toppings helped make it close to perfect. M, Sam & I loved it. Nick didn't try it, because he's super picky. ;-) Also, I served mine with angel hair pasta, as we didn't have soba noodles.
That sounds good! I think I have a cilantro obsession. I absolutely love it on SOOOOO many different things.
ReplyDeleteA winner recipe! That's a great accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteNice ground score!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you had free lunches at work - nice perk if you must go to an office! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been eagerly asking everyone how they like their electric cars, looking for more savings, but they don't make them in the size we need for our family, alas. Maybe in a few years!
