to stop eating out???  Do what I did on Wednesday and head out to Olive Garden for a late lunch of soup salad and breadsticks.  Immediately following go home and proceed to come down with some type of food poisoning.  Yup that’s right I went 3 days without eating at all and I have absolutely no desire to eat anywhere but home unfortunately for my family I have little desire to eat at all so I don’t want to cook either.  DH and I both got horribly sick either off the soup or the salad thankfully Shawn didn’t eat either so he’s fine.

I’m finally starting to get an appetite back and enough strength to move around.  I didn’t get back to the stores this week to get anymore deals but that’s alright since I didn’t spend any money.  Today I took Shawn out to Home Depot and Michaels and he made a foosball game and a little book for daddy for Father’s Day.  I spent about $5 on food because it sounded good (and that hasn’t happened for a few days).

So what have you been doing to save money??  Yesterday both Dave and I were feeling OK so we took Shawn to Star Wars Weekends and he had a blast.  Shawn got to go up on stage with Ray Park (the guy who was Darth Maul) and learn how to use a lightsaber.

Feel free to leave a comment and let us know what you are doing to save and please don’t try my sure fire method of curbing your eating out.  LOL
