Well I'm a few weeks in to the new budget, and it's working reasonably well. We need to watch our spending a little more carefully so that we don't run out of our spending money. That includes groceries and gas and that sort of thing, so running out before the end of the month definitely isn't a good thing. Our weekly grocery trips are around $60 - $100 for two people, which isn't too bad, but I'm going to try to pare it down closer to $50 a week on a regular basis. That means changing up some of the items we buy and watching more carefully for deals at the grocery store.
I've started a blog to teach people how to coupon. I like it because I'm explaing coupon terms and different coupon "rules," as well as how to shop at different stores. If you're interested in it, click here. I consider myself a novice couponer, but I do pretty well at the drug stores, so that's where I've started. I'm wanting to make the blog more of a learning community where we can learn and discuss together so that we can all figure out how to get good savings. I hope you come by and look at it.
I still plan on blogging here. This is a good place to vent when I feel like it, rather than try to be like a teacher.
Oh, and I got a rice cooker the other day from Swagbucks. I cooked rice with dinner almost every night last week. I'm loving it!
