Today's Spending: 55 cents

December 17th, 2008 at 02:13 am

Took food to work, but did buy a soft pretzel to supplement lunch. Cost: 55 cents.

We just got an email that our work cafeteria is getting rid of the salad bar & the hot entrees. That will leave the unhealthy grill options, pizza and sandwiches. They will have prepackaged salads though. Sign of the times. Our company contracts the cafe out to another company. Its plain to see that they're cutting the budget. But its good motivation to pack my lunch more.

Tonight I watched my nephew for a little bit, came home & hung out on the couch. I made some lunch for tomorrow, already have preportioned milk, cheerios & yogurt set aside for breakfast.

I plan on having meatloaf & baked fries for dinner, but will have to stop & pick up the potatoes first.

    Sorry to hear about the cut backs because I am sure some one will be losing their job but atleast like you said it is motivation to brown bag it

    .55 cents for a pretzel??? wow- you have it good. BB's "work" (the stadium)sells pretzels for $2.50. I assumed that was the going rate. Now I will have more information to restrain me from getting one than just telling myself how bad they are for my heart! They are way overpriced!

    We have the same arrangement at my company, but the food in the cafeteria is not particularly good. Once, a small live insect flew out of my spinach and salmon salad. Obviously, they don't wash their greens.

    I rarely to there, as i think it's overpriced for what it is.
