Day 5 Recap - This is Hard

I was sitting at work - my night job - having a battle with myself over going to the vending machine. I ate my dinner of pasta salad, but I knew it wasn't enough. I didn't grab anything else before I left the house. I suffered through it because I have already spent over $52. At this rate I'll be over budget by the end of the month. I have to tighten the reigns. Get creative. Work harder to identify the healthy stuff that's cheap. I thought tomatoes would be cheap, but no -- $4.07 for two!

Breakfast
Banana
Coffee with cream and sugar

Lunch
Whole sandwich on sourdough with cheddar, pickles, mayo, and mustard
Leftover pasta salad not finished for lunch yesterday

Snack
Wasabi roasted edamame

Dinner
Leftover pasta salad -- getting kind of sick of it. Only one more serving left.

Snack
Broken Halo IPA
Pop Secret microwave popcorn

  1. Sometimes I grab the sale/specials flier at Whole Foods to see what the sale items are for the week and sort of plan my eating around that. It might help you stay in budget until month-end! Good luck :)
