			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Bird had a tough day at work today so I decided I would be a nice guy and make her dinner.  I headed over to <a href="http://closetcooking.blogspot.com/2009/05/sloppy-joes.html">Closet Cooking</a> and tried to find the easiest thing to make (that with the least ingredients).  I settled on the sloppy joes.  They seemed easy enough.</p>
<p>After work, Bird and I headed to Target for groceries.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I bought:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tomato Sauce:  $0.54</li>
<li>White Onion:  $0.97</li>
<li>1 lb Strawberries (on sale):  $0.99 (they were $1.99 but I had a dollar off coupon)</li>
<li>1 lb Strawberries (on sale):  $1.99 x 2 = $3.98</li>
<li>Blackberries (on sale):  $1.99</li>
<li>Bananas:  $2.98</li>
<li>Apples:  $5.05</li>
<li>Scotch Tape:  $2.19</li>
<li>Bubble Mailers:  $5.99</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Sales Tax:  $0.56</li>
</ul>
<p>Total Spent:  <strong>$25.24</strong></p>
<p>Total Savings:  <strong>$5.00</strong></p>
<p>One of the packs of strawberries was for Bird, as were half the bananas.  The scotch tape and bubble mailers were for shipping some of the books I have sold on Amazon.  Technically, the book business fund will pay for those.</p>
<p>Arriving home, I whipped up some sloppy joes and they were pretty good.  I kind of wish I had a food blog because I wanted to take pictures of my food tonight.  It&#8217;s not too often that I cook, so I was a little proud of what I accomplished.  They were a bit runny, but that&#8217;s the only complaint I had.</p>
<p>After dinner, it was time to watch some Buffy.  With the weather improving and wedding stuff taking most of our time, it&#8217;s been a while since we sat down and watched the slayer.  Well, the weather was kind of cool and stormy tonight, so we stayed in and watched two episodes.</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s time for bed.  Goodnight, world.</p>
