Mission Impossible, Day 2 of 26: Biked In, Company Picnic

MY MISSION
To survive 26 days off $184.66. This is Day 2

Last night I bought some Kielbasa for $2 and two boxes of ready-rice mix, each for about $1.20. Combine those two ingredients and I get about five meals for $0.88 apiece. I also bought some spray starch for $2, as I obviously can't afford to take my shirts to the cleaners.

Today my group had a cookout, so I ate for free. I biked in this morning and had a Cliff Bar and a protein shake for breakfast, which I'd bought a while ago, so they don't impact my money. I paid $0.59 for milk to mix the shake. I left some rice/Kielbasa in the fridge at work (I forgot about the BBQ, so I brought it to eat). I'll have that tomorrow for lunch.

I have about five steaks in the fridge that I have to eat up, so I'll have 1/2 of one for dinner, and 1/2 for breakfast tomorrow. Again, no money spent, as I've had these for a while (they were on sale for about $3 apiece, which is why I have a freezer full of them). Pasta to go with that, and probably some canned corn.

It honestly feels wierd to not spend money. It's pathetic, but I feel lost.

Oh, tomorrow I get my top wisdom teeth out, so I can't bike, as I'll be driving to the big event. I'm not looking forward to it...except for the nitrous oxide, which I insisted on :) My insurance is covering 1/2 the procedure, and I set aside the rest in a tax-free flex spending account.
