MH & went to the movies today.  I had sticker shock.  $14 for a 9am matinee?  Something like that.  We saw the new Minions movie.  (I very rarely buy a movie ticket, so in my mind a matinee is still $6 or something?  I don't know).  MH has his unlimited movie pass, and I bought a snack.

The most amazing cheesesteak place *was* by my new office, and then it went out of business quickly.  😞 So I told MH I would go to the movies if we could get cheesesteaks (right next to the theater), which are honestly kind of 'meh' (in contrast).  But it's all I got now.

I glanced at the cheesesteak hours as we walked by in the morning but completely missed the 'closed for the holiday weekend' sign.

So we went to the grocery store.  I wanted a couple of items like bread, and told MH I'd prefer the 'ready to eat' section over eating out.  Wasn't sure if I would buy anything, but my second choice was probably a pound of beef (which is very expensive these days, though would have lasted longer).  So I picked up a take and bake pizza not knowing what the price would be.  I think it was $11, and the kids devoured it. 

The GF broke one of my favorite little 10 oz glasses.  I popped online to buy more, but of course I can't find the ones I bought last time.  *Sigh*  I had already bought a couple of sets, but can't find them now.  In the end, I love the new ones I ended up with.  $30-ish.

I mentioned recently that I no longer deny myself things, within reason.  While shopping online at Target, I found a few pretty notebooks.  & then I remembered the granola bars are often 50% - 75% cheaper than they are anywhere else we frequent.

MH did a grocery run.  

On whim, I tried another (highly rated) cheesesteak place by my work.  It did not win me over.
