I took James and Ma (my mother-in-law) out to Bonefish Grill restaurant, utilizing a $10 coupon, to conclude the holidays, James’ birthday, and to celebrate the New Year. I’m admittedly embarrassed to say how much the meal cost between the three of us—it was a high-end restaurant.
I wanted to finish off the very nice dinner with a light dessert—no big ‘ole hunk of cake, no apple pie ala mode that I’d have to take a doggie bag home since my gut was already stuffed (and continue racking up the bill). Just something to nibble on for later. I thought about going to the grocery store and getting cookies for $3.99, but a dozen will go stale in our house, as James doesn’t eat cookies. I finally spotted Micky Dee’s nearby, so I went there and got three assorted cookies for $1. That’s all I need. Additional savings: $3.
We’ve already seen how I saved $133.30 alone in grocery shopping this year. I am now going to tally all of 2007’s savings. Stay posted…
