Gotta love short weeks, especially when they start out flying by.

Mid-morning I snacked on a serving of mixed nuts.

Lunch consisted of the other half of my Orange-Cranbery Turkey Sandwich from yesterday.

and fresh baked okra fries & ketchup.

All I was missing was a pickle.

Thanksgiving Challenge Update…

So…. ummm yeah…. about that Thanksgiving Challenge…

As you can probably tell from my recaps this weekend was not the best for this particular money saving challenge. I think I would do AWESOME at this challenge if I picked a month where I didn’t travel at all, but sadly (happily?) those do not exist.

Derek was great and paid for the food the majority of the weekend, but I felt really guilty about that fact and I am pretty sure the point of the challenge is not to just let other people pay for you instead of spending your own money.

Technically I could have approached this weekend a little more prepared and packed my own meals for part of it, but knowing I was going to be in Tallahassee – something that only happens once or twice a year – and being surrounded by all of my favorite places to eat, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it.

It was an awesome weekend and definitely one worth going over the challenge budget.

With all that being said my official total thus far of all food spent in the month of November (sans San Francisco) comes to: $149.96

Yikes!

And there is still a week to go! I guess the point now is to not let that number climb any higher? We shall see…

Remember you can track my spending habits by clicking here. *Please note the pattern of spending nothing during the week and then completely over doing it on the weekends.

On another note…. Keep the votes coming!!
