I have lots of things that I would like to share but none is enough to really make a full post so I am going to share some of these random thoughts today!<\/p>\n
Budget things- I have one week left in our February budget. So far for the month, we have spent $601.30 on groceries. I decided not to do any shopping until next Saturday. That does mean I will be missing the Harris Teeter Super Doubles event.
\n-I have a second receipt from CVS this week that shows 100% savings. This time I used 2 coke rewards coupons. 2 12 packs ended up costing me $0.51. I again made the decision not to purchase any additional.
\n– I am enjoying my gift fund. I have already purchased Haley’s birthday present in addition to most of Easter and re-stocked part of my gift closet using the fund!
\n– Our hair fund is again empty. I went today and got a color. I would never have guessed that this fund gets the most use. I am very lucky that our hair dresser is very budget friendly but we average $50 a month on hair for the 5 of us!<\/p>\n
I have been able to get to the Y to exercise 3 times this week. I am averaging 2 a week but to make it 3 times is an achievement for me .\u00a0 In addition, I have lost 3 pounds so far this month.<\/p>\n
Our water heater in the main part of the house is slow not working. This means we will need to purchase a new one in the next 2 months. Gas is not an option in our area but we are considering a tankless electric one.\u00a0 This will be a huge expense but one that is needed.<\/p>\n
I have purchased the little girls matching dress for Easter and a matching tie for Zach. Hopefully we will be able to coordinate everyone for a family picture! The goal being using it as part of the “collage” over our bed that we want to create.<\/p>\n
Matt is picking up several more jobs which will be a nice boost to our goals this year. I just hate the waiting part of this process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
