1. I have not made any trips to the grocery store this week since Saturday when I did a mass grocery shop. My killer is popping in the grocery store for this and that's. Those add up for me and I am proud that I haven't stepped foot in our superwalmart all week.


2. I invited my niece for a sleepover tomorrow. I am stuck home w/my kids all weekend - Fri - Monday and I know my son will want to do something. I told my sister to bring my niece over b/c her and my DS play so nicely. This way they have each other to entertain them and my son won't bug me to go out and do stuff that costs money.

Well it was *officially* last week, but I won't notice it until this week! I cancelled my gym membership! It will save $17 every 2 weeks (money which I have already diverted into my efund!) Its not much, but its a start!

Sorry to say I have cut my debt but added to it.


One of my charge accounts I paid a 127.00 to pay it this was not counted in my ticker. Then my upper bridge fell out and took a tooth with it. That was scary I bleed like stuff pig for hours. Had to go to the dentist. The tooth was gone and there was nothing she could do for me to save the bridge. That was 5200.00 lost. I only had the bridge

This week:


Paid off 1 high interest credit card.


Made arrangement to move my horse to a less expensive facility. My board recently went up from 450.00 to 650.00 with almost no warning. New place has less bells and whistles but is only 350.00 a month.


Horse is wearing 2 front shoes now instead of 4. That is a savings of 40.00 a month.


I bought a bunch of cleaning products at Big Lots for 20.00 total instead of Wal-mart. Saved about 25.00
