I don't go to a gym, but if I did I would totally do that! :) I love eating veggie, but I haven't been to congnicent of it in the past few years. I hope to find some new favorite veggie recipes to incorporate into our menu plans this year. It really does make a different budget and health wise. :) XO - Alexandra<br /><br /><a href="http://simplyalexandramyfavoritethings.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Simply Alexandra: My Favorite Things</a>Simply Alexandra // My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005714012822874818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298679531196459259.post-13972241670419943722017-02-09T17:31:42.017-08:002017-02-09T17:31:42.017-08:00What a great post Gretchen.

Holy moly, girl! I hardly ever wear makeup anymore (I should, because I have awful sallow skin and look like a zombie this time of year), because I'm lazy, but you're right that even the cheap drugstore stuff gets so pricey!<br /><br />It sounds like a truism, but I still maintain the best way to save money is to not buy crap you don't need. I'm amazed at how easily people talk themselves into buying something they wouldn't have thought twice about just because it's BOGO free or something. You are not "saving" money if you wouldn't have bought the item in the first place! You'll save even more by just not buying it at all!Hanna @ minimal marathonerhttp://www.minimalmarathoner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298679531196459259.post-25174486184989672972017-02-09T11:35:04.941-08:002017-02-09T11:35:04.941-08:00We've been debating a Cosco membership (by tha...We've been debating a Cosco membership (by that I mean I've been trying to convince my husband it's worth it, haha), but it seems like you guys saved a lot on a few things with Sam's Club!
