I still have a few more hours to Friday before I’m late… we had a quiet grocery week. I ran out for the essentials once, milk and chocolate syrup, but other than that stuck close to home. Most of the reason was to build the budget back from last weeks big spending spree. We do [...]
Happy Friday! This has been a long week… but fun. We hit CVS, Publix and Kroger this week, a little crazy for me. I really am a one grocery store a week kinda girl, but I was already in Kroger getting all the mega event items so it’s hard to not grab a few things. [...]
This was a fun week at our house. We had a fun trip to visit family with the plans of helping take cows to market. Yep, you read that right. My husbands family owns cows, so we get to have the fun experience of feeling like cowboys and cowgirls every now and then. In the [...]
When I tell folks that to get better at saving they need to shop every week many of them panic. They envision their huge monthly shopping trip happening every week. While you do need to try to shop every week (especially if you only want to follow one stores sales), these really aren’t big trips [...]
It’s produce time again! We picked up our first box of produce from our local CSA Farm this week, and have already dug into the fresh strawberries and onions. For groceries this week I hit a wall. We needed food, but I honestly didn’t have the time or energy to get things together to hit [...]
I told you last week that we needed to save up for this week, and I must say I’m glad we did! Sometimes there just isn’t any way to lower a price further and you just have to pay. My way of saving on those deals, is by saving up money for them. I refuse [...]
This week we decided to finish the month with a grocery budget surplus and eat from the pantry. This was a tad bit of a challenge after losing most of our frozen stockpile a few weeks ago, but I was game for it. I actually think our kids love these weeks, because meals get a [...]
This week was a Kroger week for us. It was also a small grocery heart break week. I came home from a home school conference Saturday night to find my stand alone freezer door open and everything inside thawed. It looked like it hadn’t been closed all the way, but was just enough that it [...]
For some reason this is the third day this week that has felt like a Friday. I think it’s just been a long week! I was gone most of the week and actually home for a whopping 12 hours all week… so needless to say there wasn’t much shopping done during that time. I did [...]
This was a crazy week at our house! For some reason I think my kids seek out germs sometimes, and this week we ended up with two kids down. I did run out to Walgreens with the hopes of getting free toothpaste only to fall short with a “we’re sorry for incorrect information in our [...]
