Healthy Choice Steamers Beef Merlot frozen dinner - Yuck! I don't usually eat this sort of stuff for breakfast but I need the steam tray part to use as a stencil for my craft project and I don't want to have to wait until after lunch to start working on it.
Improvised stencil - $1.99 w/Safeway coupon + one bonus meal for breakfast I don't have to cook.
Cost of simillar stencil at ye jolly bargain basement craft store online - $14.99
I've only been awake 30 minutes and already I've saved $13.00 - this day is starting out smoking good! Despite what they taught us in Home Ec some days it really does pay to have a bad meal.
Okay true I'm not gifted enough to be a real artist but unable to sleep and being up before dawn to work like a fiend on my craft certainly does leave me feeling just a little bit Artemisia Gentileschi/Vincent Van Gogh ish kinda crazy this morning.
