New idea of fun

With the onset of The Great Spending Freeze of 2008, Ross and I are determined to stay on (if not under) budget when it comes to food and groceries. We went to the store this afternoon, determined to stay within our budget of $36. That’s all three meals for the two of us for this entire week.

And we did it. For $34.75.

This might trump that whole graduating from college with honors thing.
