I have wanted to find the time to actually post a few things on my blog, but it seems the time never comes. This time of year is super busy for Mark and I. Keeping the yard up and our extra large garden that I hope to post pictures of soon. Since we haven't had rain in a few days and these 90 degree tempatures have threatened the survival of our recently planted items so we spent the evening walking 5 gallon buckets of water to the garden to try to keep some life in those plants...not a fun task! Hopefully we will be seeing some rain here tomorrow, I have my fingers crossed.
My last post was talking about how I was going to save my money and not finish my room. Blow that out the window... I couldn't deal with my room being half compelete so I went ahead and finished it, picutres to come soon. I am dreading my budgeting this money because it is already looking bad. No one to blame but myself, but atleast my room is compelete...LOL Not to mention it has been a million things to buy or hand money out for this month, baby shower, house warming gifts and then Winston and his A honor roll cost me $100. Geez, I hope nothing comes up this month because I am broke. Well not broke like I can't pay the bills, but broke for me means I might have to cut back what I put in my savings this month. Since my savings account is pretty low because of the furniture purchase this does not make me happy. I will have to do better.
The coupon scoop. Triple coupons this week at Harris Teeter, I made 3 trips which is pretty slack for me. Actually the deals were not items I use that often, but I did get some items I wanted for free or very cheap. Actually I have not been grocery shopping much this past month. I am stocked so well I have only shopped for the basics while hitting a few sales items here and there. Not very usual for me, but like I said Mark and I stay super busy this time of year. My monthly totals are in and I am actually pretty happy being that a few of these shops were with no coupons. My decided to have a nice steak, bake potatoe and salade meal which was like $30, so I am happy with my shopping for the month. I spent $169.64 and saved $265.85 or 60%. I have been slack with my coupons lately and I have really got to do better, but still 60% savings is better that full price :)
Well I just wanted to give an update on my list of failures for the month(ha) When I get the chance I will really get to work on this blog and get some pictures on here. Well I must go clean the kitchen and get ready for bed, believe it or not Monday is knocking on the door again :(
