On a roll this week, I mean it!
Did my grocery shopping last night. Spent $58.73. Seemed kind of steep, but if it keeps me out of restaurants, I'm certainly okay with that. I'm still trying to cope with the ridiculous amount of money I spent on food last month...
Made chili for dinner last night, have enough leftovers for 2 meals- brought one for lunch today, but the office ended up buying takeout for everyone. It really is a great perk of working where I do. My boss comps quite a few meals for us.
I'll have a little more time to cook tonight, so I may just do so to have more leftovers later on in the week (I tend to get lazy a lot and only eat things I can readily grab and eat or pop in the microwave. Leftovers rarely go bad in my apt). I'm going for a run after work, so we'll see how I feel after.
Brought coffee to work today. Almost out. I decided to be brave, though, and try out the Aldi brand "Donut Shop" coffee. We'll see how that is. I'm a Dunkin Donuts girl for the most part when it comes to coffee. That being said, I use so much flavored creamer, I'm not sure it's going to make much of a difference. At half the price, I'm willing to experiment.
As of today, all of my utilities and rent are paid (except internet, which doesn't post or let me pay until later in the month). So once I get my paycheck, it's almost all toward my goals, baby! Well, that and car repairs. I still need to take it in to be looked at...

So I forgot about my PNC points program... and apparently my heavy spending with the CC last month racked them up. Can't say that's a *good* thing, but it at least is a silver lining! There's a $50 Amazon gift card coming my way. Woo! I'm almost out of the eyeshadow I use every single day. I know it's kind of a silly expense, but I'll use just a little of it toward that. Good news, regardless!

Last night I got this really awful muscle spasm in my foot. I get them fairly frequently, but never for more than like 20 seconds. This one lasted about 5 minutes. Terribly painful. Had to soak it in hot water eventually to get it to calm. Think I need to start drinking some serious water, and maybe grab some over the counter muscle relaxers if it happens again... so strange.

Okay, enough rambling. Hope you are all having a great day!

I will say that most of their items are just as good as equivalents at other stores, so you may be surprised!

@Snafu-- thanks for the tips! I didn't think about sports drinks. I thought it was dehydration that caused them. It may be good to keep one around for emergency purposes. I definitely walk on my toes, and put a lot of pressure on it. That's supposed to help. And usually makes it pass quickly. I'll try the curling/stretching!
