September 2010 Review

This post may contain affiliate links.

The household budget for our family is $400 a month and includes all groceries, household products, clothing, gifts and newspapers. While I’m still short on a few things in my stockpile, I think we’re pretty well covered. My biggest recurring expense is newspapers, so I am searching out other options besides paying $3 per Sunday paper for the Dallas Morning News at Walgreens (it’s over $4 to have it delivered).  Back in NWA I had 2 subscriptions delivered to our {Read More}

Anniversary Dinner Results

This post may contain affiliate links.

Remember last week in my $5 dinner post how I said my goal for our anniversary dinner out was $12.33?  We finally got around to going out on Sunday night. T.G.I. Friday’s was the location since I had found a $5 off Q last Tuesday.  I knew we would still blow the budget, but it wouldn’t be too bad.  We took both kids with us, since we have yet to find a sitter that can take care of the baby.  {Read More}

Do You Ever Get to Visit With Your Friends- Minus the Kids?

This post may contain affiliate links.

As we enter the children phase of our lives it seems that it gets harder and harder to visit with friends.  A few years ago was a rough year (well it seems really easy in comparison to this one, but it was terrible that year).  I was working full time with a baby at home and Hubby was frequently gone out of town for work.  I taught Kindergarten so I desperately needed some adult time, but it was getting harder {Read More}

Garage Sale Tips

This post may contain affiliate links.

I have always loved having yard sales.  They are just exciting to me.  Yes dear friends, I know how weird I am!  I truly do enjoy visiting with all the customers, making sales and seeing the money bag thicken, and yes, I even enjoy haggling.  This past weekend I participated in a garage sale and was excited to contribute $158 to our checking account from the sale.  That may not seem like a huge amount, but considering our last sale {Read More}

New Coupon Printing Site

This post may contain affiliate links.

There’s a new coupon printing site out there folks.  Visit Coupon Network and get registered.  Plug in the zip code where you do most of your shopping.  It will ask you to select the stores that you shop at.  I’m hoping this will result in some store specific Qs.  Most of the Qs I found tonight were ones already on other sites, but there were a few new ones.  Let’s hope this turns into a great site!  Thanks for the {Read More}

This Week’s Dinners 10/3 Average Cost $5.00

This post may contain affiliate links.

My goal is to provide dinner for my family for an average of $5 except on special occasions. We don’t have to eat beans and rice to accomplish this goal! We typically only cook a main dish 4 or 5 times a week, so each main dish cooked will be for 4-6 servings, and the leftovers will be for easy dinners on the weekend, or to freeze for another week. This cuts down on cleaning, cooking, and meal planning- saving {Read More}

I feel really silly for not thinking about it when I originally posted this- Don’t forgot to place your order through Ebates to get an additional 2% cash back.  Every little bit helps and this 2% would help defray your taxes.   This week Office Depot is running their special 100% rewards back promotion for WorkLife Rewards and Star Teacher members.  You need to sign up for the Worklife Rewards or the Star Teacher program to take advantage of this {Read More}
