Friday Five: Austerity

Friday Five

 1. When you have to cut back on spending for a time, what are the niceties you’re least likely to give up even though you could (or should)?  Eating out with friends.  It's seriously one of the things I love to do and will have a hard time doing. :(

2. In leaner times, what are your go-to “famine foods?” I don't believe in being "thrifty" with food, but if I had to save up, it will be eating ramen for one meal. It's cheap, delicious and fast. :P

3. How do you keep yourself amused or entertained in times requiring great frugality?  Download movies and watch it at home instead of going out. :P

4. When was the last time you had to go into austerity mode?  I am blessed enough that I don't have to deny myself of anything that I need, but I imposed a beauty product ban for myself because it's a whole lot of stuff I don't need.  It just accumulates into junk.

5. What’s a necessary expenditure others might consider an extravagance?  Does driving everywhere count?

Friday Five: Scattergories

 Friday Five:

 

1. What random letter was generated by the online random-letter generator?  "B"
2. What geographical location, whose name begins with the letter, would you most like to visit someday? Brazil!  To experience Carnival in Rio de Janeiro.  I've also never been to any part of South America and Brazil is definitely somewhere I want to go in the near future.

4. What’s an annoying or unpleasant task whose name begins with the letter? Brisk Walking.  I need to get my ass back to the gym.
5. What implement, whose name begins with the letter, would be good to take on a camping trip? Definitely need a warm Blanket! 
6. Which of your body parts, whose name begins with the letter, needs some attention or maintenance? Butt.  Time to do some squats! HAHA!
