Every time I get an idea for a blog post it has to follow a simple guideline: it must be either funny or helpful. Posts that do not follow this are quickly nixed. Now I'm about to break this guideline by presenting a topic that is quasi informational, funny, and helpful.
I moved out the spring semester of my freshmen year and haven't lived at home since. These are some things I've lived without for a year:
one. Ziploc bags. Never underestimate my skills of folding a pizza into a round tupperware container.
two. Bread. I have never actually bought a loaf of bread this whole time. That means I have not made myself a pb&j or any other sandwich in the past year. I guess having them everyday during high school surpassed my current want.
three. Typical condiments. Kind of going along with bread, I have never bought jelly (peanut butter was given to me), ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc. This is what the ketchup packets at fast food restaurants are for...never pay again!
four. Toliet paper. Joke, everyone. I hope I got ya with that. But really...flour, eggs, and napkins, I don't even know what those are.
four and four quarters. Cable TV, or really any TV for that matter. I have learned that Netflix, Redbox, and Hulu can get me by in this area. If you don't have Netflix, it's one of the best ideas ever. It's worth stealing the password to my mom's account.
Here's my motto: If it's not free, it's not cheap enough.
