The hook — as said out loud
Today's budget is four bucks. I can't lie, I was pretty close to just throwing this out the window and not recording today.
The script — as said out loud
Today's budget is four bucks. I can't lie, I was pretty close to just throwing this out the window and not recording today. But I'm competitive and like sharing some easy ways to save money. I tried to get my day started with a 59 cent large big goal from 711 but unfortunately they were out of the large size. So instead I headed to a dollar slice shop and I got myself a dollar and 50 cent slice of pizza. As questionable as these ingredients and these prices are, I'm a little sad to admit that I still love the way this tastes. Probably not the healthiest breakfast, but I got the job done and it made me happy. For cheap for lunch I was picking up a little snack to hold me off until dinner. Once I saw that I had a really low number today I checked my email and saw that I had a $4 coupon for CV minimum purchase necessary people. So I picked up this perfect bar which had about 300 calories and actually tasted pretty good. For dinner I was pulling a maneuver that is a staple of my routine and I was stopping at two different restaurants. I bought Reagan and I some Wendy's in the airport the other day and I was able to get enough points from that to get these four spicy nuggets for free. If you don't think that Wendy's has the best nugget in the game, you're just lying to yourself. Next up, I stopped by Chick Fil A and picked up this free mint as well as the rest of my dinner for the night. I usually just go for the regular chicken sandwich, but tonight I went for the spicy filet and I added some extra pickles to cut that heat. And I genuinely don't know how they can afford this, but Chick Fil a is still giving out a free sandwich anytime you fill out the survey on the receipts.
