Nope...not the IHOP kind...rather, the "let's not spend money" kind. The kids had already had dinner (my mom picked them up from school and fed them..thanks, mom!)and I had to pick up a light-jacket for my son (good-bye $26.93)...I was already bummed, tired from a long day and kinda pissy that I did all the "work" that day...even though my husband was "working" on loose ends, it still is a shock that he hasn't "clocked" in anywhere in two weeks...anyhoo, I'm digressing...so, I called him (hubby) and said that I would pick up some cheap burrito's somewhere (in my house, this word has a two syllable sound: bri-to...whoop, I'm digressing again) and his response was that he'd rather have a hamburger and fries. As I calculated the cost and did a fast GPS assessment in my mind, my son (who I think felt bad about the "good-bye $26.93"...even though it was a need and not a want...) mentioned something about having food at home. I asked hubby to whip something up, omelette-like in our GT101X-Press (yes, of the infomercial variety)and he did...even offered to add pancakes to the menu, but, I knew the milk needed to be used up-so I opted for Corn-Flakes instead.
After all was said and done, we assessed our menu to be a savings of $12...and since we have $63 left for the month...I guess that was a good use of restraint.
