1. I bought two sets of scrubs at an outlet
For my PCT job at the hospital, I can wear whatever scrubs I want.
(So….definitely not my student scrubs!!)
I’m scheduled for 70 hours in the next week and a half because of orientation and training, but after that, I’m not going to be full-time.
So, I just bought two sets of scrubs, which, with strategic washing, will get me through this 70-hour stint.
It is so nice to wear a top that is not a rectangle!
I don’t really want to invest a ton of money into scrubs because if I do end up working in Labor and Delivery when I graduate, I’m not even gonna need my own scrubs (they are provided as part of the job in that department, since you have to go into surgery sometimes).
2. I used an Amazon promotional offer
Zoe needed a new bottle of Cerave lotion (dermatologist recommended!), so I added a bottle to my Amazon cart.
Then I saw that there was a $10 credit offer if you spend $35.
I was already at $18.76, so I was like, “Hmm, if I add $6.25 of stuff, I’ll get a free $10.”
That seemed worth it to me, so I poked through the offerings and found a few other skin-related products we needed.
And I used my newly-found Amazon gift cards to pay for the whole order.
3. I mowed my yard
Yes, I am going to give myself credit for this each time I do it, probably.
I don’t love doing yard work, and each time, I almost crack and pay someone to do it.
So when I don’t crack, I am going to give myself a pat on the back, thank you very much.
4. I used my birthday freebie leftovers
You know how I got that free crab soup and bread with seasoned oil and Parmesan?
Well, I saved the extra oil and Parmesan, and this week I used the oil on some sautéed carrots, and I sprinkled the Parmesan on top.
5. I…
- made yogurt
- made coffee at home
- did a bang-up job of eating almost all the veggies in my fridge
- bought a big pack of chicken on sale and froze it into Zoe/me sized portions
