walked with mom for 55 min
Went to the grocery store this morning. Spent $56.65. Saved $63.08 more than 50%.
I got the following items for free.
2 packages Ball Park Franks - because the sale price didn't ring up, I got these free.
Sara Lee hotdog buns - free with purchase of 2 Ball Park Franks
2 64 oz bottles Tree Top Apple juice
2 packages Dentyne gum
1 package Dentyne mints
3 ready to serve packages Zataran's Rice
5 4 oz cans Ortega chilis
And I have a FAR for Hunts ketchup which will make that free and give back $2.00
Went to Chili's for lunch and spent $7.83
Spent the day preping for the week. Did laundry, cooked a huge batch of Chili, chopped veggies, boiled eggs, fixed oatmeal for the week. My house is getting really behind on cleaning. I just can't keep up with it and all the hours I work, plus the down time I require to be able to concentrate on my work. I'm seriously considering getting a cleaner in for one time just to get me back to an even starting place.
Finished reading my book Dangerous Tides by Christine Feehan. Romance. Very good.

A cleaning service in every two weeks keeps me sane. I know its a luxury. If money got tight I'd move the service to once every two weeks or cancel it.
I try to cook at home (having a clean kitchen that's not so hard), shop the sales, don't live extravagently etc.

I vote for the housecleaner!!! Even if it was just monthly, it makes a huge difference and you'd be able to keep up in between.
