What else i am not buying in 2006

August 21st, 2006 at 10:57 pm

During the camping trip, I came up with a few more items that I wont be buying for the rest of the year.

Soda for mefrom the store. If we eat out, I might splurge, but I am not buying soda for me for the rest of the year. I will be drinking water. (DH and DD3 would never buy into this, so I will continue to buy theirs...but less often... ("What, no soda??? Darn, I KNEW I was forgetting something...")Wink

Wine. I enjoy an evening glass of wine, but I have decided I can do without for the remainder of the year. My only exceptions are Holidays.

These two will help the new tighter budget...and will also help my health...who knows, I may just unform a couple of old habits!!

    I used to be totally addicted to Diet Coke, from a fountain, so I would have to go to Burger King or somethng everyday to get one.

    Somehow I weaned myself off and now I drink 1/2 water, 1/2 Crystal Light with lots of ice. Target brand is good too!

    Sounds like you're not buying bad health, either! Smile If I really feel festive, I've been finding that iced tea is just as tasty as soda.

    Wine is good for your health, bad for your budget. Lucky me, I have never liked soft drinks, I drink only water during the day!

    I was addicted for years to Diet Coke. Only had 1, at most 2, a day, but i HAD to have it. I managed to kick the habit, ordering it only when at a restaurant, tho recently i bought a 12-pack.

    Mostly i've been drinking home-made ice tea, all summer long, 3 regular black tea bas and 2 green tea bags.

    Thanks everyone!

    I think red wine is good for your health...Im not so sure about white, which is what I prefer. In any case, I wont be buying either for the rest of the year!! Smile
    I also love tea...so I may incorporate some into the regimine...but for now Im going to stick with water...and a couple of cups of coffee in the morning!
