Meatless Monday is an international public health initiative that encourages people to eat vegetarian on Monday, to both improve their own health and the health of the environment.  I had tofu yesterday, and tofu for lunch today.  Dinner was the KFC Monday special: $4.34.  So much for meatless Monday this week.

Daily total: $4.34

Super Bowl Sunday. I ordered Thai food times two; the second one is tomorrow's lunch.  $18.00.

Daily total: $18.00

February 2, 2013

Decided to visit the Ontario Mills Outlet Mall.

Breakfast at Chik Fil A: $5.71

Patterns from Joann Frabrics: $17.19.  I really don't know how to sew, so my projects are probably already doomed.

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Company cookie: $2.00

MAC lipgloss: $11.88

Swimsuit from JC Penney: $26.99

Champion sports bras: $36.70.  The purple one doesn't fit, and there's no way I'm going back to return it.  So it's going to be listed for sale on Ebay.

Clarks shoes: $172.72.  They will probably all have the heels worn off before the end of the year.  Have had foot issues over the years; my shoes just don't last very long.

Miscellaneous stuff from Target, including ankle braces for unhappy feet: $34.61

Moving Comfort sports bra from Dick's Sporting Goods: free:-)  It was technically $28.99 but I had a $30 rebate voucher.

Late lunch at IKEA on the way home.  Swedish meatball combo: $5.64

The printer ink I ordered on Ebay was in my mailbox when I got home.  Just in time to do taxes this weekend. $14.99.

3 loads of laundry: $9.75.  I had to change laundromats because the one in my Koreatown neighborhood was packed to capacity.  So I went about a mile in the opposite direction and found one in Little Armenia.

Daily total: $ 338.18

Sally Beauty Supply: $42.53

Unknown beauty supply store: $10.48.  Sometimes, Sally just doesn't carry the items that I'm looking for.

WalMart: $42.51.  I've never lost or broken a pair of prescription eyeglasses in my entire life, but since moving to California I keep losing my sunglasses.  The replacements were $24.00.

Clothes from TJ Maxx: $162.41.

Clothes from Sears: $57.04.  The Kardashian tunic was on clearance for 9.99, and I can understand why.  Although it happens to be one of the few things in the line that is non-hoochy, the designer must be smoking crack.  I was able to buy it in extra small and it fit over the clothes I was already wearing.  But a dress from the same dress that I tried on in size large wouldn't even zip.

Lunch from Wienerschnitzel: $4.71.  This is a SoCal chain, and I've never eaten there before.  It was OK, but nothing to get excited about.

Dollar store: $5.48.  The trash cans that I purchased here 3 years ago died last night.  I accidentally punched holes in them while replacing the trash bags.  So I had to replace them today.
