Day Two-Bread Outlets and Forbidden Fruit!

 I went to the Hostess Bakery Outlet store today and bought 6 bags of groceries for only $56!  I paid about 50% off retail price.  Next week, I am trying the Mrs. Baird's Outlet down the street.  It saved me time too because it is one less thing I need to buy on my supermarket trips.  Every Thursday, I have to drive to Broken Arrow for Willow's therapy and I drive right past it.  I can save money by shopping during the couple of hours she is in therapy.  I am freezing some of it so I can keep items on hand and resist the temptation to impulse buy or eat out.  I will tell you the store was full of sugary items like pastries and cookies that I purposely avoided.  

 Another thing I did today was eat at Schlotsky's free.  My former-self drove by Schlotsky's almost every Thursday.  Oh, the shame!  The positive side was they punched a card every time I wasted my money there.  So on the second day of my fast food moratorium I turned in my punch card and ate out...for free.  That forbidden fruit has never tasted so good!
