The Frugal Girl

FEBRUARY 23, 2024

Monday A friend treated me to tacos, and Zoe ate her leftover burrito. Tuesday I got back late from an orientation about an hour away, so I popped by Panera and picked up dinner for Zoe and me, using a gift card from my credit card rewards. $0 0 out of pocket for me! I didn’t even cut up any fruit. It is what it is.

I paid it all in cash (try not to pay in credit cards…). They were the leftovers. This is what I do: Step 1 : make a monthly menu plan and stick it on the fridge or the wall. Note: to see my example of a monthly menu plan, click here. Step 2: leftovers. My total bill was $27.57.

We also don’t want to come home to a credit card bill. We plan on participating in our neighborhood''s yard sale next month to raise our vacation funds. For dinner, we''ll plan to eat in on 5 nights and eat out 2 nights. Usually there is enough leftovers for the last night to be a ‘clean out the fridge’ night.
