Hey, what’s with buying the jug of water? Is the water coming out of your faucets non-potable? And here I thought you were frugal.

The site is called FABULOUS Financials, not FRUGAL Financials, so it’s a good thing you don’t get paid for thinking. [-SM]

Sorry, I have a thing about buying water when I can conveniently get the same stuff for free. Unless you think that jug you are going to toss out is worth $1.50.

Yep, for what I intend to use it for, it is worth the 2/$1 I paid. For your family’s sake, I hope you will ALWAYS have running water in your house. [-SM]

So are you cutting out choclate period or just choclate candy? Bcuz I had to the same thing with my choclate habit. To prevent going back to the habit I started to drink Trader Joe’s choclate soy milk(on the shelf not refrigeration) & I also eat the Belgian choclate pudding from TJ’s. If the craving it’s you this my help.

All the best to your lifestyle chg!!!!

Cutting out chocolate, period. When I set my mind to something, I’m an all or nothing kind of girl. If I have any, I’ll indulge so I stay away from it completely. Substitutes just make me frustrated.

I’m also a strong willed, so I haven’t had any cravings yet. *knock on wood* The temptation comes from watching other ppl eat it. I’m afraid of my own response when my brain finally catches up with my eyes. Surprisingly, I’ve handled it just fine. [-SM]
