About 2 weeks ago, my wonderful boss planned a final work outing for June 4th- breakfast at Roxy's Deli. Any other day, this would be fine, but not on day 1 of Summer of Cheap! I was bumming out about it a little bit; I wanted to go but I didn't want to splurge on day 1! Roxy's is not well known for it's amazing breakfast deals. I guess 'The Secret' was on my side because the day after I was told about the breakfast, my newspaper arrived with a fancy, glossy ad from Roxy's. They have a really great breakfast special - 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, and bacon or sausage for only $1.99. $1.99! Problem solved! With tip, breakfast cost me $4.
I was asked to meet up at the Alamo for a 20th high school reunion planning meeting later. I figure, it was planned for happy hour, I can afford a HH beer, right? You know how those HH beers add up though, right? I arrived and ordered my Bud Light... And consumed it vewy, vewy sowwy. I couldn't resist when the waitress asked who was up for another round. So again, that beer went down in record slow time. Responsible, don't-want-to-drive-after-drinking Amy switched to water after that. When all was said and done, one of my amigos covered the bill. I was not anticipating that - but I definitely appreciate it!
So, day 1: $4 spent, $21 left. (You thought I was gonna spend it all in 1 day, didn't ya?!)
