Day 2

Well, I backslid today.  I ate out.  Oh the shame!  What did I eat today?  Well, I had a peanut butter and jelly again with milk.  It's quick in the morning when I'm feeling lazy and keeps me full without any crashes.  Then I ate out and had a ham, cheese, tomato, lettuce sandwich with some kick-ass potato salad.  And then about an hour ago I had green beans and 1/3 of half a chicken, tea w/ milk & sugar.  So that breaks down into the following:

PB&J with milk (same as yesterday)..........$ 1.38
Ham sandwich & potato salad (w/ fixins)..........$ 7.03
1/3 of half a chicken @ $ 5.99 for half a chicken..........$2.00
Green beans (free giveaway)..........$  0.00
Tea (2 bags)..........$ .10
Sugar (3T)..........$ .26
Splash Milk ( ~ 2 oz)..........$ .07 

For a grand Total of..........$ 10.84

I'm pretty sure I could have kept the cost under $6.00 if I'd just eaten a home meal instead of out.  OUT.
A bad word for the budget-OUT.  But it's so convenient and fun.  Ok I'll try and spice up this blog with some exciting action packed food photos.  Creativity will be key.

OH! and PS:  I forgot to add two freebies yesterday.  A co-worker bought everyone a bitty chocolate mousse tart and a small latte.  I don't drink coffee but I drank it anyway.  I tried it hesitantly and was pleasantly surprised to find it smoooth and not bitter at all.  I think the latte part helped.
