Spinach smoothie and Super Glue

A coworker has been juicing and brought me some to try and it was pretty good. Well I don't want to spend $400 on a juicer so my boyfriend offered up his broken blender. I was like really???? But then again, he knows I'm on a budget and didn't want to buy a blender this month.

He broke a huge piece of plastic off the bottom where it tightens into the blender base.  Well thanks to Dave Ramsey and my new frugalness, I went to DollarTree and bought a package of 2 superglues for $1. I glued that bad boy back on and it worked. And while I was at it, I glued my favorite shoe that was starting to lose its sole. 

I have been so sick of trying to eat a salad at least once a day. So instead, I make a mix of:

  • spinach
  • kale
  • cucumbers
  • squash
  • beet
  • flax seed
  • protein powder
  • pineapple or strawberries
  • kale
  • mandarin oranges
  • no sugar added Cranberry juice and water
I blend all of it up and don't strain it. I'm getting all my fruits and veggies in for the day in a drink.  Drinking this is a breeze.

So today, I had all my veggies and fruit at 7am and then I had Taco Bell for lunch. Hahaha. Which by the way, was much better than a salad. So speaking of Mexican food, my boyfriend had some words of wisdom to share with me this week. 


"If I eat 3 bean burritos for dinner, 
I guess I must expect to pay for it the next day."

So I've been doing Dave Ramsey's plan which sucks for me, but better for my budget. Well this month, I had what I call OTHER expenses. I got:

  • My cat fixed (250+)
  • My synthetic oil changed ($75)
  • My garage door fixed ($129)
  • Easter clothes ($58)
Drumroll please: I still managed to stick to my budget. I have a total of $16 to last until Friday. I should be golden. I have gas in the car and food and wine at mi casa.
