Happy first day of summer! I’m pretty sure in my neck of the woods it’s been summer for at least a month, but I’ll take the special day and all the freebies and sales that go with it. We had a simple grocery week this week. No coupons actually just grabbing sales on produce items. […]
This has been a fun week for us. The biggest savings part of our week was getting to see country life start to bless us with food. We got 12 little chicks a few months ago, and as they grew it became apparent that a few of them weren’t known for their laying but instead […]
We had a great week in terms of finances this week! We’ve been trying to sell an old truck for the past few months and finally did it this week. On top of that we got our tax refunds! For us most of this will go into savings, but it feels nice to be able […]
I have a few more minutes left to Friday night before this is late! I’ve been out in Nashville teaching a workshop, and just got back to the hotel. For my savings this week, I don’t actually have anything to share. We stuck close to home and didn’t go shopping. Now that we are farther […]
With gorgeous weather in South Carolina, we had a great week of enjoying the outside and playing. We planted our second annual garden with peas, squash, corn, carrots and tomatoes.

We had a fun week this week. It still involved lots of painting, and trips to the dump, but it was more calm and normal. As for shopping we hit Publix and CVS. I really didn’t need to go to CVS for anything, but when you have a little one in diapers it is best […]
This has been a long week. We found out Wednesday that we have renters moving into our old house next week. Renting was God’s plan, not ours, so we were not ready at all. We’ve been painting, cleaning and packing, and then more cleaning for the last three days! Sadly because of all this my […]
Do you ever have weeks that you get all the coupons ready and then never get to the store? I have driven around with list, coupons and resuable shopping bags ready, for the last three days. Each time we are near a grocery store it just doesn’t fit for me to go in (usually it’s […]
It’s hard to believe we are already two months into this year! Looking at our budget so far for the year, things have been going great. Eating out of the pantry for almost the whole month of January put us way ahead. We hve enjoyed using some of that cushion to get restocked with the […]
