My New Hobby

I thought I'd better post about my newest hobby: saving lots of money!!! I'm doing a whole lot of blog following and cutting a coupon or two and having a blast! I think it's my competitive spirit that makes this so fun for me.

My new goal - $50 per week to buy groceries, diapers and all toiletries for our family of four. I've been doing this for 9 weeks and my weekly average spent is $60.83, so I'm staying pretty close to my goal! I've gone over a few weeks and I've gone under a few weeks and I'm hauling home at least double the amount of groceries, diapers and toiletries as I did before and spending a great deal less. It's so much fun!

So, I thought I'd post what I did yesterday just for fun.



I purchased the follow items:

Albertsons:
4 boxes cheerios
1 box Wheat Thins
1 box club crackers
1 jar beef bouillon

Walgreens:
lotion
chx broth

Target:
3 Glade Reed Diffusers

Total spent: $4.59 (after factoring a $5 rebate) + I have a $7 gift card to Walgreens to spend! So, basically I made $2.41 yesterday for buying all that stuff!
