I still haven’t gone grocery shopping for this payday. Which is amazing because we got paid right before the New Year. At first it was because the commissary would have been closed for a few days, for the holiday and the regularly scheduled closing.
And then after that I thought that I would try to see [...]
Earlier in December I was notified that I won a contest and won a copy of the Greatest Secrets of the Coupon Mom book. How exciting - it’s been a while since I’ve won anything. It arrived right before Christmas and so far it looks good. I’ll be back with a review of it [...]
This payday we spent $287 (including tip) on groceries. I took a final test that morning/afternoon and visited with a friend until my DH got off work. While I was at her house, I realized I didn’t have my list (or what few coupons I had) with me - so I started a new list. [...]
I mentioned we went to the vet today. We got stuck in traffic (three car accidents on the same road) and were 40 minutes late. Probably five of those minutes were spent on me getting lost. Anyway, we did something we very rarely do.
We ate out. At a fast food place. It cost $18. For [...]
Meal planning is going well so far.
I like cooking but sometimes I feel like it takes a long time. I usually will have a tv show on so I can catch up (I dvr whatever shows I watch, I don’t watch commercials anymore LOL) and the kids wanting to help out.
I know there are things [...]
We got paid a mere four days ago and the paycheck is spent. Blah.
We realized that we have it good really - we make good money, we have a house, two cars, lots of food in the house.
So why can’t we get away from what little debt we have!
We are going to - again - [...]
We made a point to leave the house in order to get to the library sale when it opened. We ended up being about 5 minutes late. I was so excited! Hopeful that the books we put back would somehow still be there. We bought a box and went on our way - each taking [...]
Since we stocked up the pantry not that long ago, I said we need to go back to meal planning. After we listed our standard 10 meals, we each grabbed a couple of cookbooks and picked out meals based on how great the picture looked.
DH was nice enough to stay away from seafood (not my [...]
My husband did grocery shopping on the way home from work yesterday. We just got paid the other day so had our typical grocery money available - but since he knew the bonus was also available, he did major stocking up. He is fairly watchful of prices and spent (gulp) $520. That is a HUGE [...]
