Spyros found a new website (from one of the people who's blog he reads) where you can type in what you eat for the day. It keeps track of calories, nutrients, balance between carbs, fats and protein, etc...
It's very cool and we're going to start tracking our intake everyday.

We got two checks for $13.86 today. It was for a settlement in a CD price fixing class action lawsuit. DH had heard about it on the radio at least ten months ago, so we both went to the website and put in our information. They finally settled and we got some money, which we'll be putting in our Savings when we do errands this week.

MIL and BIL stopped by yesterday. They had rented Freddy vs. Jason, and said once they watched it they would bring it over, as long as we made sure to return it on time. That will work out well since DH doesn't really like horror movies, so we often rent a different genre. (But I do check horror movies out of the library to watch sometimes when he is sleeping.)

We got a Sunday newspaper last week (something we rarely do) and it didn't have any coupons. I was annoyed, but found out the next day, on one of my chat boards, that they don't do coupons during Holiday weekends. This was something I never knew...

Frugal/Simple Thought of the Day: I know a lot of people (ourselves included) that would rather do anything else then exercise or take the time to write down a food journal, but it is one of the most basic Simple and Frugal thing that you can do.
It is much less expensive to take care of your body (mind and soul) than having to pay medical costs.
Although eating healthy food can be expensive, in the long run it turns out to be cheaper. And if you weigh the cost of convenience food against health food, health food isn't that much more (if at all) expensive.
Enjoy those in season fruits and veggies (which cost less than ones that are grown and transported out of season). And support your local farmer's market. Besides getting tasty eats, you'll get exercise from walking around.
