Kept $84 this month by skipping the drive-thru

dreFast Food: 3w

My Money saved card says $84 since September. Not huge, but it’s the first time I’ve seen the number instead of just feeling bad about it.

What helped: groceries on Sunday so there’s always something at home at 11 p.m.

Late-night drive-thru is my whole pattern

Daytime me is fine. 11:30 p.m. me, after a long shift, driving past the drive-thru on the way home, is a different person. Things I’m trying: a snack in the car, a different route home, and texting my roommate when I leave work so someone knows I’m coming straight back.

First week under my fast food limit

My goal is fast food at most once a week. Did it once, on Friday, with friends, and enjoyed every bite. It was never about zero. It was about choosing it.

“Turtle eyebrow: raised.” I drove past.

Drive-thru line again on the way home. The widget said “Turtle eyebrow: raised.” and I felt so judged by a cartoon that I pulled out of the line. Went home and made a grilled cheese. Last time the fries won. This time the turtle did.
