What we week we had!

Took photos at Balboa Park.

Tuesday 9/16
Went for a bike ride with family...FREE.
Used B1G1 coupon at Souplantation...saved about $8.00...Join Club-Veg for periodic great deals!

Wednesday 9/17

Sunday 9/21

Used our KPBS card and had a B1G1 breakfast at Hob Nob Hill.
Went and saw the Cat-ilacs (super lame!) play to a geriatic crowd at Seaport Village...at least it was FREE.
Went to Quizno's (5 meat sub, $5) and bought a Gargonzola and Pecan Salad, three bottles of water and a fruit juice box (about $4.50), for an impromptu picnic by the bay.

These are just a few of the creative ways that you can stretch your dollar in this economy in San Diego. When you become congnizant of how much you actually spend on junk and convenience, you realize that with some planning and foresight, you can really save -- while having fun!
