Money-less challenge day 2

7/8/2014

0 Comments

 
Day 2:
Monday, July 7th, 2014


I overslept this morning, so breakfast was toasted english muffins (leftover from yesterday) with butter and jelly, and a glass of milk.  It was something I could carry out the door with me and eat in the car.

Because I overslept, I left my house 7 minutes late.  All notions of improving gas mileage flew out the window as my only concern was just (safely) getting to work on time.  Whew! Made it with 2 minutes to spare...go me! (Thank you, Jesus, for no tractors or cops).  According to my MPG gauge however, I only dropped to 21.4 MPG so not a huge loss.  I made up for it by driving slowly to the goats and home after work.  The MPG actually improved to 22.5 by the time I got home, so no irreparable harm done.  Whenever I fill the tank, I reset the avg. MPG gauge so I can see how I'm doing with each tank.  For some reason, it always starts off with a low number but gradually improves throughout the life of that tank of gas.  I expect it to get better before I have to refuel, and since it is an average, the number is more realistic when the tank has been used anyway.

Lunch was leftover fried zucchini and green tomatoes.  Man I love this stuff!  It’s a good thing too because we have a lot of zucchini and yellow squash at the moment.  No complaints here though - it’s good to have plenty to eat when you’re trying to spend no money.

Supper was pasta with ground turkey and sauteed veggies, dressed with a little olive oil and cheese.  So yummy!

Total $ spent on day 2 = $0
Total $ spent so far during the challenge = $0 (we’re on a roll!)
