Weekly Recap, Aka Proof Of My Abject Failure

 

Tip Of The Day:  My typical Monday post for you; weekly recap of what I spent, plus hot men to gaze upon.  Note – I’ve had a request to post hot women.  Yeah, sorry bucky, you’ve got plenty of websites featuring women upon which to gaze.  This one’s for the girls, and we likey the hot guys.  Sans shirt, preferably.

 

Tip For Tomorrow:  Tune in for Part One of my Two-Part Grocery/Food Savings Series for Fox 9.  Ah, a good title makes everything seem so much more impressive than it really is.  I’ll either be talking about CSA’s or bulk bin shopping – either way, you’re bound to learn something vastly important.  VASTLY.

 

Further Elucidation Of My Cheap Deal:  This week’s recap is a lesson in abject failure.  Failure to plan ahead, failure to curb my raging appetites (which sounds dirty, but is not), failure to Avoid Fast Food.  I may not have spent a fortune, but I certainly did not spend well.

 

Weekly Recap, The “I Ate What?” Edition

Holiday Gas Station, breakfast sammie and coffee before teaching class, $2.19

Taco Bell, lunch whilst teaching class and yes my classes are hell on my waistline, $2.00

Cub Foods, Totino’s and ice cream pops, $5.06

Monday, July 20

ITunes, three more songs for the Pod as I’m gathering up music for the Posse to listen to on the way to Bristol in August, $2.28

Cub Foods, groceries in a vain attempt to curb my fast food habit, $37.25

Tuesday, July 21

BP Gas Station, gas for the Honda, $20.00

Target, the bare necessities like toilet paper, $14.86

Arby’s, more fast food oh God stop me, $4.69

Wednesday, July 22

Post office, shipping for Princess’s hat, $4.36

Thursday, July 23

ITunes, more travel music, $1.98

JoAnn Fabrics, hugely discounted trim and cotton and candy, $8.76

 

Total for the Week:  $154.92.  Not a ton of money, true, but OH MY GAH so much of it was spent on fast food or snacks.  This is a complete and utter waste of money which would be better spent on other things like, oh, my BILLS.  Bad Cheap Chick, bad.  I’m deeply ashamed of myself, and it will not happen this week… much.  Sort of.  Moving on.

 

After last week’s fast food debacle, I need to get back on the healthy track – and nothing makes me want to live a healthier lifestyle more than looking at hot men.  I have no explanation for this phenomenon, it’s just my way.

My favorite, hot men in TUBS.  Where they are WET.  Which is BEST.  And who looks better in a tub, soaking wet, than David Boreanaz?

Mmmm… dampened.  I think hot men should be required to walk around lightly moistened at all times.  Just like men look better in kilts, men look better when wet, too.

    Love the hot men! You have to read my latest blog post, you won’t believe it! It’s quite shocking.

    I’m sending out those Ren Fest coupons I scored for you this week, watch your mail!

    I still can’t believe there are no hot pix of Chris Noth out there….

    Are you trying to inspire a weekly round of “let’s be thankful for hotness” picspam on my blog? Because it’s working. I already feel more thankful and positive about life. And baths.

    The Cheap Chick's Daily Deal

    Cooper Rocks!

    Many fabulous people have helped The Cheap Chick Empire throughout the years, and one of the best and coolest people to give me a hand up is Cooper Lawrence.  So I was THRILLED when I saw she had a new book out – The Yoga Club.  Dudes, you should all go buy it now and then read it and then say awesome things about it.

    Why?  Because Cooper is an amazing writer.  And?  A vastly entertaining person.  So it’s worth your time and money.  Cooper Lawrence!  She is Cheap Chick Approved.
