The household budget for our family is $500 a month and includes all groceries, household products, diapers, health and beauty, clothing, gifts, decorations and newspapers.
A little on the lean side? Perhaps, but it works for our family.
Whether your number is $300 or $1000, you should do what works for your
family.
You may have noticed that I haven’t shopped at Walgreens or CVS in a couple of weeks. It’s been a nice hiatus, but I will be getting out this afternoon to see if there is anything left and will probably shop next week too. Perhaps you’ll see a picture of what I scored next week on my review.

Money Made
Before I started blogging I would earn about $10 a week for a couple hours of time with these programs. Here are the monthly totals for the online programs that I use most often for rewards:
Inbox Dollars: updated monthly
Inbox Pays: updated monthly
Ipsos-Isay: updated monthly
MyPoints: updated monthly
RewardPort: updated monthly
Swagbucks: updated monthly
Zoombucks: updated monthly
Total Money Made: $0.00
Money saved this week: $30.37 + $0 = $30.37. This means $38.94 of DH’s salary saved (click here to see how I get this amount)
I’ve been using Inbox Dollars, MyPoints and Swagbucks for a while and love the little bit extra they allow me to earn…way to go saving that money!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and following. I am following you back and look forward to all of the deals you post!
