When We're Broke, We Get Creative

This weekend was a stay at home and don't spend any money kind of weekend (again). We are technically supposed to be paid on the 10th, but since it was on Saturday, we didn't actually get paid until monday because the banks are closed on the weekends.


So Michael took us out to an early showing of The Crazies on Saturday morning. We used the debit card since we have no cash. It is amazing to me how many people go to the movies at 9 am on a Saturday. Last weekend we saw Clash of the Titans and the theatre was packed with families, school field trips and rowdy kids. We even saw one of our students there.

Since The Crazies was R rated, there were no kids in the theatre. There were several families and couples. If a theatre in the US opened this early, I would expect it to be pretty empty. We enjoyed the movie and got home before noon. The rest of our weekend was pretty boring. We were lazy and didn't do much.


As far as food goes, I had to use everything we had. I made a lot of quesadillas with homemade tortillas and peanut butter and jellies. Sunday night, I went to the Buy the Way to get some milk and we had potato soup with all of the veggies I had in the freezer. We both ended up hungry later that night because there wasn't much potato in the soup and we were running out of things to eat.
