      It’s hard to believe we are already two months into this year!  Looking at our budget so far for the year, things have been going great.  Eating out of the pantry for almost the whole month of January put us way ahead.  We hve enjoyed using some of that cushion to get restocked with the Publix Italian Days sales.  I also ran to Food Lion for a few things, which was the first time in I don’t know how long.  The Food Lion trip wasn’t because they had great deals, it was really because they are now the closest grocery store to us (though still 15 minutes away).

      Publix
      Total before sales and coupons: $88.10
      Total Spent: $45.17
      Total Saved: $42.93 or 48.7%

      Food Lion
      Total before sales and coupons: $57.65
      Total Spent: $33.60
      Total Saved: $24.05 or 42%

      In the end for the week we were over budget by $19.  This week had to events we were hosting, a Romans 12 Hospitality Tea and a 5 year old birthday party.  So, to come in close to budget and grab everything we needed… I’m quite pleased!

              I know that there are going to be a lot of happy kids when they hear that Veggie Tales is coming out with a new DVD in March!  The Little House That Stood is about three builders who build houses in different ways and the pigs who occupy the houses. It’s a twist on the classic story that we all grew up hearing, and it teaches kids about making good decisions in a fun way that they can relate to.   One builder builds with hay, one with sticks and one with bricks.  It emphasizes building on a solid foundation.

              Veggie Tales sent us a DVD to review and it’s no surprise that my girls absolutely loved it!  They said it ranked up in their favorite of Veggie Tales with Robin Good and His Not So Merry Men.  That’s high praise coming from them! They thought it was really funny and the songs were great.  One of them said that her favorite part was when the pig answered, “Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin.” We even wet over this discussion guide about the movie to talk about what they got out of it.

              The DVD releases Tuesday, March 5th, but there are several ways to get the deal:

              Get a FREE Puzzle and $3 off the DVD:

              If you’re shopping at your local Walmart and decide to buy The Little House that Stood DVD, you’ll receive a FREE 24-piece The Little House that Stood puzzle! Use this $3 off coupon and save even more.

              Receive a $10 rebate:

              When you purchase both The Little House that Stood and The VeggieTales Bible by Zondervan you will receive a $10 rebate!  Available at Lifeway, Family, Mardel and other Christian Retailers.
