A New Look at Our Spending

11/14/2011 by Sandra 1 Comment

We have been free of credit card debt since Jan 2010. I think that is correct my memory is not clear. You would think that this date would be one I would never forget. bleh

I took a new look at our spending plan and it is needing to be tweaked mainly in the food department. So here are a few resources I have found to be helpful to me in changing our spending plan around.

USDA Food Plans

USDA Cost of Food

I am trying my hand out at coupons to help lower our food budget and stretch our dollar. I got a nice taste of spending 52.oo approx on groceries and it went down to 3.08 final cost. That was quite a rush to see it go down like that, and this has inspired me to continue working on doing this and learning more about how to save this way.

I am now working on this weeks shopping list for our family.

To be continued………..

Just Have to Ask

Over the weekend I mentioned how hard it has become for me to find xyx product in our pantry. That is all it took and my husband decided to organize the pantry for us. Now I complained a bit because he does get so into it drive me batty sometimes. I quickly thought better of it and just let him do his thing.

After a short hour or so it was all nice and perfectly in place. Argg I hate to admit it but he is good at this, hmm maybe I should complain about another part of the home and he will get right on it. Hmmm better not press my luck huh.

I took a pic of him on the lower right of him after he was done and resting. See I didn’t notice he was telling me I was number 1 for telling him he did such a good job. I wasn’t being sarcastic not me haha.

Great way to start your day poached eggs, grits and sausage and cheese, my kids love it. See my primitive attempt at using picnik.com above with my picture. I like it but I can do better with those pics I know hehe.

Saturday Stumbles Fridge Foods and More

I slipped and fell this last Tuesday, so I have had lots of time on the internet to find some pretty neat stumbles. So here I go what I stumbled this week.

1. My Fridge Food My husband liked this one since it might save us a bit on our food budget. Guess we will see if it helps us do just that.

2. Peanut Butter S’mores Turnovers I think this are delish, I have to try these with my kids. My little one is allergic to peanuts so I will try them with soy butter, which should work same.

3. Cupcakes A-Z – Food seems to be following me this week, and these cupcakes are to die for. I probably couldn’t make most of them but now I have a terrible craving for them. haha

I will stop now because it’s lunch time and now I am starving.

Have a great weekend and happy stumbling, I love this it’s so much fun.
