Today I got a mammogram and a bone density test -- both at the same place, so that was convenient! I'm really trying to improve my health. I've been exercising, too. No more excuses!
While I was out, I stopped at the filling station and topped off my tank. I only spent $9.84, but gas was a little cheaper than the last time I filled up, and I'm determined to fill up whenever the price drops. Today it was $2.92 per gallon.
I also stopped at Wal-Mart and bought some groceries and household supplies for $36.08.
I'm getting a $100 check from CapitalOne. I had more than 20,000 No Hassle Miles. It's just never worked out to use them on plane tickets. I didn't realize I could get cash instead. I hope it will come in time to put toward my dental appointment.
Frugal activity of the day: I scrounged in the freezer for dinner and found two veggie burgers I didn't know I had! I also took out some soup to thaw. I found a package of mystery meat -- I just couldn't remember what it was, but decided to let it thaw -- it started to smell bad -- then I remembered. Garbage! I sometimes freeze garbage so it won't stink in the can, but sometimes I forget all about it! It went back in the freezer, 'cause garbage day isn't until Monday.
I WILL improve my health!

I do the same as you do about the garbage. I freeze anything that I know will be thrown out in the garbage. The only thing that has worked for me is to use the plastic grocery bags to wrap the food in. That way I know that it has to be thrown away and I try leaving it in front so I can see it.

Aleta -- I like to walk when the weather's nice. Otherwise, I just do freestyle aerobics in front of the TV. Thanks for the tip on Weil's website, I'll check it out.
