This week I went way over budget, but that’s the good thing about having a budget. I know that some weeks I need to be under budget, to be able to make up for those special week such as this one, where we have family visiting. While you are here, make sure to check [...]
It feels as if, it has been a very busy week. Somehow I’ve still managed to squeeze shopping time in between doctor’s visits, going to the gym and more, and I have even managed to fit in some downtime for the kids as well. I stayed under budget! Yahoo! Even after a Walmart visit…. I [...]
I finally came in under budget, and after two weeks of being over budget, it was highly needed. I did spend money on clothes and shoes this week, but it was amazing how much I got for my money. Sometimes you need to spend to save… While you are here, make sure to check [...]
I went over budget once again! I have no excuse other than not being able to pass on the great ALDI produce deals, and well…did I mention that I miss my Doris coupons? I sure hope Publix will start sending out more Publix coupons again. I am not putting as much time into my grocery shopping [...]
I only did grocery shopping this week, so there are no great clothing deals to talk about. The best deal this week was definitely the deals on baby wipes at Target, and I made sure to stock up. I went over my grocery budget of $75, which shows just how much I miss being able [...]
After six weeks of slow shopping due to my post partum period, I have now been cleared to start stepping up my exercise level, which means more walking and more shops. This week I have done two big walks with my two youngest, which took me both shopping and to the playground. I have yet [...]
It’s been a very busy weekend around here, and we just sent off my brother and his family at the airport. It has been a fantastic time, and thankfully we got through it without too much sickness. There has not been much time left for shopping, so I just did the basic grocery shopping. caught [...]
This week I did the majority of the shopping early in the week, which was a good thing. Two of our four kids have ended up with strep throat and with it came a lot of stomach trouble. Fortunately, it seems as if the baby has missed it, and I am keeping my fingers crossed. [...]
This week I stepped up the speed a little, but I still took my time, since it’s only been two weeks since I gave birth. I did do a lot of cleaning, and I ran some errands on foot such as signing up my 3-year-old for school next year, going to the playground with the [...]
This week was the baby’s first shopping trip, and it surpassed my expectations baby- wise I think this little lady might just be a super shopper already. As for the savings, this might just have been the worst saving week this year, but I will admit that I spent very little time planning my shopping list this week. I [...]
This week I only made one shopping trip, as I spent the first half of the week in the hospital with my beautiful baby girl. The first thing my oldest son reminded me of in the car on the way home from the hospital was that….we were out of milk. When Thursday came around, and I [...]
The energy spurt that I got two weeks ago has dissipated, and this week I am feeling very very pregnant. Between a cold snap hitting South Florida, the boys getting sick, and entering the final days of the pregnancy I have had to take it very easy. Somehow I’ve managed to escape the kids’ cold [...]
This week I have been taking it easy, since it started out with an evening at the hospital. After a round of IV, I was back on my feet again, swimming at the Y, walking etc., but I can definitely feel that it is time to slow down a notch. I managed to stay within [...]
This week I have done A LOT of shopping, because I added two trips to the mall to my usual shopping routine. It has been a great week for bargains though, because I found some awesome clearance deals. Living in an urban area means lots and lots of malls, lots of stores, and lots of shopping opportunities, and [...]
This week is the week that I am finally staying within budget…our new $70 grocery budget that is. I picked up some great deals on kids clothing and shoes at 70 percent off, and I was especially thrilled to find a pair of shoes for my oldest son, who is growing faster than I can [...]
