I admit to the frequent McDonald's cones as well. Somehow I don't feel as bad if that's all but French fries often get added.SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485146123969622896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-8108820703681838982016-12-18T08:55:33.972-06:002016-12-18T08:55:33.972-06:00My fast food weakness is Chick Fil A.

It's less than $5, but like you mentioned, I always end up feeling guilty for stopping. Hope you have a great week.

Eating out has been minimal this month, and not at all for supper.I don' think we've even picked up a take and bake pizza or deli chicken. Of course, we are only at the 17th. Other than my T-Bell blip, I've brought lunch every day, though DH and DD have spent money on lunches and early dinners to accommodate their schedules.

It's hard to train him that it is not a good deal if part goes in the garbage. I'm hoping I did better with the kids, but DD2 always seems to leave at least a bowls worth of cereal to get stale.

We just didn't have the need for the sizes offered and he would be picking up cases on cheese deep in cans the size of my head.

I am spending much less on gifts even though I am actually giving more presents, so if I run over on groceries so be it. It is all going to work out in the end!Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-9947528657803991222016-12-17T12:04:13.685-06:002016-12-17T12:04:13.685-06:00I too crave fast food at times, but usually regret...I too crave fast food at times, but usually regret it. I have In & Out once a year or so, and while I don't feel healthy, it also doesn't hurt my stomach after. ;-) <br /><br /><br />You did great with the savings! You can definitely tell when M does the shopping at our house. He doesn't really buy random stuff - just more than what we need of anything, and cares WAY less about food waste than I do. *cringe* Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-63557711000461492922016-12-17T11:15:47.744-06:002016-12-17T11:15:47.744-06:00I know what you mean, I took hubby to Costco earli...I know what you mean, I took hubby to Costco earlier this month, somewhere we don't normally go together as I do grocery shopping and came home with an $11 jar of pickled eggs. And box of Calamari. The calamari was gross, we ended up throwing most of it out and I hate waste but it really was yucky. Hubby said the pickled eggs aren't that great either. I crave fast food once in a while and same, thing, other than Japanese always end up regretting the experience and the money.Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.com
