to get it. DH and I have made a lot of small changes over the last month or so ie packing lunches, cooking dinner at home instead of going out. I haven't seen any progress in the checkbook, but I know eventually the money will be saved.

I am so proud of myself too. My DS has a Winter Program tonight. He needs a certain color clothes to wear in it. Instead of running to Walmart to pick him something up, I started going through his clothes and low and behold he already had the clothes in his drawer.

I know that these are just baby steps, but at least it is progress!

The next thing to tackle is keeping better track of our money going out.. but I am working on it!

Hi, BEM. Congrats on frugal ways. Doesnt it feel great to save a little here and there? It really does add up. Like Danni and others say, baby steps first. At least your DH is taking food to work. My DH decides to come home and eat what is cooked for snacking, etc. Whiz.
