Day 9: $160 Challenge =(a day behind)=

So yeah. I have been slacking on the blog a bit. This blog post is  for yesterday. I have also seriously been slacking on schoolwork this term. My entire day off Tuesday was spent burning Halloween music for work… for fun. I was determined to be productive yesterday. The library opened at 9AM and I was there, slacking off, all day. But first, in trying to avoid losing morning momentum, I opted for Starbucks drive-thru over using the espresso maker at home. I thought I still had money on my card. Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite enough to cover it… so, I also bought 2 Luna bars.

 

Day 9:

Starting Cash:     $132.95

Spent:     $3.45

Ending Cash:     $129.50

I’m up $16.03. Not bad! That should at least cover the gas for an outing.

 

Purchases:

1 Venti Blonde Roast, $1.47 after prepaid card was applied, 1 Caramel Nut Brownie Luna bar @$0.99, 1 Peanut Butter Cookie Luna bar @$0.99

 

v— I’m sure you can guess what I had for:

Breakfast:

Hint: it was everything mentioned so far in this post.

I think I’m over the whole Luna bar thing now. *tummy ache*

Lunch:

  • leftover couscous and this particular chili.

Dinner:

The Bearded Lady on Food Face plates!

  • Chickpea Cutlets (Can you tell I am a big fan of the Veganomicon?)
  • Roasted Vanilla Carrots

 

Roasted Vanilla Carrots

2 large carrots (this is all we had left; adjust recipe as needed)

Her beard is maple mustard. Her hair is BBQ sauce. Ain’t she purdy?
