Wednesday is my last day of this semester. One more final and I can finally roll around doing nothing. (My favorite pastime.)

Have you ever noticed to save money, we eat cheap? I’m thinking dollar menus at quick drive-bys. Have you also notice our waists pay the price when eating cheap? Sure, it’s a lot easier on one’s wallet to spend a dollar than to spend six dollars on a healthy meal. But the price we ultimately pay? A body with less energy, and a brain with no juice. Occasionally having that cheap meal is all right. However, running into that mess may make everything harder to run away from. So save money, but at the same time, watch your health!

Home-cooked meals are a lot more appetizing and can save your wallet’s life! When you’ve mastered the art of cuisine, then BAM! We control the ingredients and in turn, we control the amount of fat we place onto our plates. Don’t forget, always be on the look-out for sales. Just yesterday, I went to the supermarket because I was bored. (Yes, I go to supermarkets to kill my time) And you know what I found? I found CAKE MIX. FOR SALE. Instead of the usual 1 for $2.25, it was a measly 2 for $1.99. I was in cake heaven. I trotted home happily and had a weeks supply of endless cake-eating!

Ok, so maybe some of you don’t do cake diets. Try your very own. You like them burritos!? Try making them. You control the ingredients. On an earlier blog, look look look for sales and if you could, clip some coupons!

One last helpful tip that I found is this website: http://www.retailmenot.com
Have you noticed before paying for some online item, there are “Redemption Codes” or “Discount Code” somewhere on the payment website? Retail-me-not finds those codes for you and you pay less. Sounds great, huh?

KURI UPDATE!
I haven’t been depositing money into my savings account. BUT I WILL! Watch me, Scholarship Points! I will reach that goal by December 31, 2008!

10 days till Christmas. (And counting)

Happy Holidays!
