be more mindful of my money

The operator congratulated me. I feel great.

And I found a penny yesterday.

I’m going to increase my automatic deduction this week.

I also chose NOT to buy the Lady Gaga CD, though I am a big fan.

Getting free lunch at work…and banking the money.

Changing bank accounts.

And I brought my lunch.

Coffee cost extra today, because our beloved pushcart guy (dollar coffee) was nowhere to be found…2.17 at Starbucks…

Still, that’s eight dollars saved today.

1. 4 dollar refund at CVS
2. 9 dollar refund at Staples
3. Target gift cards (redeemed my points, baby)!

So the goal is twice this upcoming week.

Estimated savings: Seven bucks!

Yay!

And I finally got a check from my health insurance.

Thanks, universe!

collecting the change and going to the local Commerce Bank…

making my lunch at least once a week.

Cooking a little more often.
