Hello! After work I met up with Skinny Runner for a walk. It was nice to see her even though it feels like we practically live together these days…
We walked for a record 5 miles talking about life, liberty and the pursuit.
Then, we took pics of each other like nerds…
We email each other our pics and she sent me these and a pic of Kim Kardashian on accident (I think). I suspect she files KK and I both under “dookie booties” and I’m on board with that…
Post-walk I made a quick trip to Trader Joes. I grabbed this Trader Jose light – I guess it’s supposed to be like a Corona, right? We’ll see.
Just the Tip Tuesday: Trader Joe’s sells squash by a flat price NOT by weight like other stores. So, pick the biggest one you can find because size matters. Yep.
Question: What’s your tip for the day?
Crystal@TheFastFitRunner says
SO glad we now have a TJ’s right by me!!!!! What I was missing all this time. I like things really big, and really cheap.
Caitlin says
My tip: Change up your workout playlist every week. The new tunes will amp your body up and make exercising more fun.
Jason says
I’m cracking up that you use dookie booty! I might be the only reader that is familiar with that, from a hip hop song, definitely a term of endearment. Embrace it!
Kelly@ShapeDaily says
I have a confession to make; I usually shop at Walmart (because I’m a poor post-grad) and I always go to the self-checkout because the employees are super slow, and sometimes I hold up my produce a little bit from the scale so its lighter=cost less. Yeah, I’m a kind of thief. Woops.

My tip: buy lottery tickets so you have a chance at winning and NEVER having to work again. Slightly over it here….
Susan says
My tip is to stopping being so hard on ourselves (especially is ladies). Things happen. Just pick yourself up, brush yourself off and start over. Some times we can learn more from our so called mistakes or mis-steps that we can from our victories.
runeatrepeat says
Great tip!
Jack Sh*t says
My tip is to always… well, let me rephrase that… never, ever… under any circumstances, for any reason whatsoever… no wait…always… every time… plan your tip before you start typing.
Linda says
My tip is: Someone please build a Trader Joe’s in West Virginia. The closest one is 138.9 miles away!!!
Emily @ MainEats says
I didn’t know that about Trader Joe’s! Pretty good tip! : ) You and SR are super fun-wish I lived by you girls!
runeatrepeat says
Me too! The more the merrier 🙂
meredith says
Funny, I posted a few tips yesterday on the blog I recently started lol. My random tips were how to avoid running when you really need to crosstrain As well as the random tip of – did you know you can reuse K-cups in the coffee machine? You can easily run them through one or two more times! Saves a ton of money if you brew a lot of coffee like I do!
runeatrepeat says
Good tips Meredith!
Lauren @ Eat Like An Elephant says
Here’s a tip: don’t eat yellow snow. (Any Friends fans out there??)
runeatrepeat says
Ha!
Ashley says
I always buy Trader Joe’s squash when I’m tight on a budget. I can doctor it up for less than $10 total for my dinners for an entire week!
kate says
My tip: Show us Ben so we know he is still alive!
Hanna says
I know right?! Bring back Ben!
Haley @ The Saucy Apple says
My tip for the day is to make sure you get all of the soap off your hands before you stick your fingers in the peanut butter jar. Soapy peanut butter does not taste good. 😛
runeatrepeat says
That sounds like something I would do!
Renee says
Always wake up when your alarm goes off so you can get your workout in or you will regret it later. Obvious right? I can’t seem to remember that every time I turn my alarm off.
Abigail says
Just the tip Tuesday!!! Ahahhaha!! I just started reading your blog and because you have Just the Tip Tuesday I will continue reading (and you’re a fun interesting runner and friends with Skinny Runner — Who I also just started reading) So fun!! Happy Hump Day!! 🙂
runeatrepeat says
Yeah! Thanks for reading 🙂
Bri says
My tip is to download as many free iTunes T.V. shows as possible and watch them during long treadmill runs. They are saving my sanity right now!
TorontoRunner says
I am LOVING your shoes! Looking fab!
My tip – don’t forget to unwrap your hershey’s kisses before you microwave it(I wanted it a little melted). bad times.
runeatrepeat says
Oh no! Noted 🙂
Jean says
This is random, but you totally look like Mariah Carey in the cochina picture. I mean that as a compliment (and also as, “woh, weird!”)!
skinnyrunner says
we do live together, right?
runeatrepeat says
Yes, stop stealing the covers.
Ida says
I hope you meant ‘donkey booty.’ if not then my tip is ‘don’t hang out with people that think you have a dookie bootie.’
runeatrepeat says
No, I meant dookie bootie it’s from a super old song 🙂
Lisa says

Nicole says
Stay away from the crack bread. The cinnamon swirl bread.

Stay away from the crack bread. That would be the cinnamon swirl bread.
Anne @ eatcleaneatreal says
My tip is to buy SEVERAL spaghetti squash when at Trader Joes since they dont always sell them…at least in my part of the USA. Oh, and load up on some butternut squash while you are at it!
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
My tip is if you workout 5 times a day because you are in a fitness challenge then your legs will probably fall off…wait, that not a tip, that’s me complaining.
Tip: Don’t join a fitness challenge unless you want your legs to fall off.
runeatrepeat says
Ha! Thank you 🙂
Angela says
That is an amazing tip!! Ummm lets see what random tip I can think of…the only thing I can think of is pretty lame. To get your wedding ring to look extra sparkly mix a little bit of window cleaner with hot water, then soak. It honestly looks like when you get it cleaned by professionals. (Not sure if this is actually good for the ring or not bit mehhh 🙂
Carrie says
My tip is to go back in time and not buy that Trader Jose Light, because it is TERRIBLE. I made that mistake once, too.
runeatrepeat says
Boo!!! Damn, and my time machine is broken…
Amanda says
TJ here says you can return for FULL REFUND if you don’t like the product!
