A Dollar A Day – Day 19

Breakfast: A cup of tea and a slice of chocolate cake provided by co-workers $0

Lunch: The rest of the stir-fried cabbage $0

Dinner:  Fishfry!  $5

This is the dinner that I promised myself if I was able to keep up my first 2 weeks of a dollar a day plan.  We went with a few friends, and ordered fish frys and a spicy scallop roll.  Minus the $25 coupon we ended up paying $10.  I even have leftover for tomorrow!

A Dollar A Day – Day 18

Breakfast: A cup of tea  $0

Lunch: A bowl of oatmeal $0

Dinner: A hamburger from Burger King $1.05, and leftover pasta from last night $0

Parking: About $0.65

I had to give a lecture today and it was raining/snowing, so I decided to pay parking so I can park close to the building entrance.  I did not have enough change to feed the meter, so I went to the student union and got cash.  I was a little hungry so I decided to find the cheapest food to eat.  Burger King’s $0.99 hamburger was plain but it took care of my hunger, then I came home and ate the rest of the pasta.  Short of time and hunger really aren’t dollar plan’s friends!
