About Me: Suzy




An East-Coaster bewildered that I ended up in the Midwest post-graduation. More bewildered that I've come to love it.

May Goals

This month I'm going to try to make my goals a little more motivating...

1) Uniting Sustainability and Savings
- I’m bringing in ceramic mug and cups to work – which will keep me drinking the office floor coffee instead of Starbucks, and water instead of grabbing diet cokes from vending.
- Reduce how much I drive each week. Walk to the Guy's instead of driving on nice days. Limit driving for weekend errands.

2) My Own Personal "Stick" for Going Overbudget on Food in April....
- Before I go back to the grocery store, I’m first going to get through every single one of these delicious dinners in my pantry:
... Lentil Soup & Organic Black Chips
... Pasta with Frozen Snap Peas
... Mediterranean Kashi Pizza
... Omlette & Turkey Sausage
... Chicken, Broc& Cheese, Near East Grains
... Chicken, Corn & Near Grains
... Turkey wrap with cheese &spicy mustard
- No more premium grocery stores. Only the value grocery stores (even though they’re way inconvenient in location) for the month of May. Maybe I’ll even head back to Super Target, since they’re definitely the cheapest.
