frugal things I did today:

- I brought lunch from home. again. just like yesterday. and it was leftovers from dinner last night and Monday night, both things I made at home!

- I used my free oil change tonight. I have a punch card and after five oil changes, you get one free. unnnnfortunatelllly....they found a ton of stuff wrong with my car. I do not have the money to fix this thing. luckily I am going to my parents' for the holidays and they offered to set up an appointment with their mechanic. I'm thinking that means it will be free for me...but I absolutely hate the guilt that comes along with it. I am a grown woman with a decent paying job. I should be able to pay for my own car repairs, even if it does amount to hundreds of dollars at a time. *sigh*

- I've been trying to stick to no more than 60mph on the freeway. it's tough with the crazies threatening to ram you even in the slow lane, but I am trying.

- I am going to package up some homemade treats to give to my coworkers tomorrow.

- I'm going to try really hard to get a good night's sleep. well rested = thinking clearly = less frivolous spending.
