Living better, spending less.
I seem to have taken the weekend off from blogging! Oops. :) We were away for the weekend, staying with my parents. Yesterday was my birthday and so my mom and I went shopping. My daughter’s second birthday party is this Sunday so I had a burning need to find some Elmo-themed items. That doesn’t necessarily fall under the frugal category.. but she will love it, so it’s worth it. :) At some point, I am really going to have to figure something out about a cake, though! I am cutting it pretty close by now…
Meal Planning Monday Tuesday
Monday: quesadillas
Tuesday: KFC – free 2-piece grilled chicken meal (I actually really liked the grilled chicken–didn’t see that one coming)
Wednesday: fettucini alfredo with spinach or broccoli (mood depending)
Thursday: homemade pizza
Friday: Mexican rice
If you’re interested in free grilled chicken from KFC, make sure you print your coupon as soon as possible–May 6 is the last day. You can print four per computer. Click on the link to print and hit the back button until it starts printing again. After the second print, return to the main page and click the button again. That should work. I see a lot of grilled chicken in my future.. ;)
When I became a stay-at-home-mom, I promised I could save our family money by shopping sales and maybe even using a few coupons. I had no idea what I was getting into. These days, I am on a first-name basis with the cashiers at the local drugstores, I haven't paid for toothpaste or shampoo in over a year and I spend my free time here, helping others do the same. So please, make yourself at home while you learn how to save, and when to spend!
