Sunday Outing and Resisting Tempation

June 23rd, 2015 at 12:44 am

Sunday afternoon NE and I went on another little joy ride into the country. We went out as far as Hickman (for those who know NE area) and visited a couple lakes there. We stopped at the local "grocery store" called Jack and Jill and each got a drink. (He treated Smile )

We also stopped at a large hotel that had a lot of brochures for tourist attractions in the area, and took a number of them to look at further.

It was a nice way to spend a few hours. Smile

Right now it is looking as though I'm going to have about $300 in "extra" money this month. That is .. if I continue to resist temptation til a week from tomorrow. Smile

That means I'll have $150 or so to put towards my little get away. That will pretty much cover lodging and gas. So July will be all about getting the money for food and entertainment.

I have $11 left of the $100 I allocated for my groceries category. Must resist temptation. (SO wanted pizza this weekend -- delivery pizza! But resisted!)

--
I'm trying to make the Allegra last a little longer by not taking it on the weekend ... not sure that is such a good idea. Because I have a bad sinus headache right now. Wasn't bad Saturday or Sunday, but maybe it was because I'd built up over the previous 5 days ...

I checked the Dollar Generals here, and :**( no frozen fruit. So I had to get the frozen fruit from the local grocery store - $3.29 for 1lb.

Spending: Saturday - none
Sunday - $13.33 - frozen fruit, etc. (groceries)
Monday - none

    I believe the poster who mentioned the frozen fruit for a dollar bought it at (the) Dollar Tree stores. I know the stores that have a freezer/refrigerator section do sell it.

    OMW! Thank you for pointing that out Kaycee! I somehow got the two mixed up in my head. I just called the local Dollar Tree and they said they DO have frozen fruit! I'm in heaven!! Will be going there for my next frozen fruit stock up (and also to get my new shoes - both in the general same area.)

    I would not skip any Allegra on the weekends. If I skip even one day of Claritin during allergy season, I can tell, and then it takes a couple days of taking it to put me back to normal. It's meant to be taken every day for best results. Is there no generic equivalent? I by the Up and Up brand Loratadine from Target and it is *way* cheaper than the name brand and works just as well.

    Chole,

    I am thinking about going to the 12 hour version which does have a generic available. (And I have coupons for it too...)

    These drives in the country seem like a cheap and enjoyable activity. As long as you stay out of cute country stores maybe they can help you stay away from the temptation to spend! Smile
