September 13 Savings

We did spend $12 tonight to attend the Northwestern vs. Morningside Football game, but made some choices to minimize the cost of our night out, plus DH gave up a lunch out with the other coaches at noon to contribute to the savings.

Investment: DH came home for a spaghetti lunch today, plus I packed turkey sandwiches, Chex mix, fruit, and dessert to eat on the way to Orange City. 

Instead of: The other coaches went out for Pizza Ranch Buffet at noon, where DH usually joins them on Saturdays. Plus, we normally would have grabbed some subs from Subway to eat on the way to the game. Also, DH didn't buy the normal popcorn from the concession stand.

Savings: $8 pizza buffet and $7.50 for subs minus about the $5 cost for the food we ate instead, plus $1 popcorn. Total: $11.50

Bonus: I got to see my husband before 4:30 on Saturday, which made me happy, plus eating supper in the car saved time on the way to the game. We also didn't have to stand in the really long concession line for popcorn (and DH still got to eat some of his brother's popcorn).
