Farmers Market!

I love the farmers market in this area. It is always full of yummy fresh produce and I love that I can talk to the farmer that actually grows his or her food!

I went to the location that available on Wed.'s cause I needed some zucchini and a jalapeno.


I totally scored from a guy I normally shop at the downtown market. I got (3) zucchini and a jalapeno for $1.00 thus also being awesomely frugal in my purchase!

1st Day

First day of $100 Challenge

Breakfast- Skipped.  Hubby had a trailmix bar from home.

Lunch- Bossman bought coworkers and I some yummy Chipolte!  I had soft tacos and they were most excellent.  Barbacoa is the way to heaven....  Hubby had leftover orzo pasta and veggies.

Dinner- Hubby and I ate leftovers.  I had some orzo pasta with veggies, and he had leftover sketti and meatballs.  I also made up garlic bread with a leftover half a french bread and also some guac because who doesn't love guac!!!

Total Spent: $0!!!
Total Left: $100.

See day one and I'm already ahead!!!  This won't last long though :)
