Are you disciplined enough to tell yourself ‘nope’?

Yesterday on my way home, I was yapping on the phone and needed to figure out dinner. Somewhere mid convo, I had an instant taste for some Shrimp Fried Rice from a specific Chinese restaurant. They were less than 30 minutes from closing, so I pulled up the menu and the same SFR I used to order had now doubled in price and likely contained the same amount rice, shrimp and veggies, 1 fortune cookie and 1 soy sauce packet. Absolutely not! I could go to Kroger and make a salad for less – and that’s what I did.

I pulled into Kroger parking lot, got to the salad section, and made a detour to the deli for a sub. Snagged some fruit for my morning smoothie then caught a $1.37 sale on an 11oz bag of granolas, Love Crunch brand. Working on a junk food replacement and chocolate granolas have become a new fav.

Sidebar. Ms. Google (cause she’s a woman who knows everythang) predicted 2024 food prices will increase 3% but at a slower rate while restaurant and takeout costs are expected to increase by 4%.

Happy Friday & keep grinding!
