Happy Monday everyone. I hope it was a great weekend. My weekend was good, I started it a little earlier because I took a half day on Friday. I took it for no reason, I just wanted a little bit of a longer weekend 🙂 And boy was that nice!
I took the pups to get their vaccinations on Saturday. But that’s a post for tomorrow! I have a long animal costs post set up for tomorrow. You all know that I’m obsessed with my dogs so be prepared for a long post.
And I’m finally on Wordpress if you couldn’t tell! WOOOHHOOO! To celebrate this, I created a giveaway. I will announce the winner next week for the $100 PayPal cash prize.
Spending: We didn’t do a lot of shopping last week. I bought a couple of things for the house that we needed (new sheets, pillow cases, etc.).
Extra Monthly Income:My extra income wasn’t as high as last week, but it’s still pretty good. I made around $275 last week from extra income.
Food: We’ve been doing better, as I said yesterday, but we could be doing much better.
Being healthy: I’ve been doing much better! I’ve ran with my dog every day. We’ve been going to the track in our neighborhood every day also. My sister has been a crazy workout and healthy eating person lately, so she’s helped keep me on track.

I always try to plan out my meals for the week and only buy what I have to have at the grocery store.
Thanks! Good luck 🙂
Congratulations being on Wordpress. Woo-hoo!
Congrats on the new site with WordPress. You now have a snappy mobile theme too yay!
Thanks!
Money Saving tip: I tend to cut my own hair. My bangs need a trim every few weeks so I'll just go to town with the scissors. It will grow back, right? 😛
Haha I would never trust myself with that!
Congrats on word press! yay!
I've been working on our food spending. Moving my husband to a cash only system has helped! 😀
Thanks! And yes the cash system is always helpful.
The main thing that helps us is the monthly budget. I keep our spending pretty up to date so it is easy to see if there is money left in a category.
That's great! We don't keep track, but we should.
I try to make beauty products to save money
Great idea!
Love your blog. We save money weekly by brown bagging it, and making dinners at home.
We always bring our lunch. Saves so much money.
We don't own a tv! We watch tv shows on Hulu or rent movies from the library.
Glad you finally made the switch!
I always shop the return aisle at Lowes for appliances. Most the time people refuse delivery of brand new items because of a tiny dent or scratch. I was able to get my stainless steel fridge for $300 (was $1899) and my frontloading washer and dryer (HE) for $600, originally $1599/ea!! That's my money saving tip – always check the clearance aisle and ask associates what they can do for you price wise!
That is a great idea! I need to do this. My friend is about to buy a house also, so I'll let her know.
That’s awesome that your dogs are motivating you to run! And my husband and I are just as obsessed with our pup, so I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s post! 🙂
Yes they definitely motivate me! And haha hope you enjoy tomorrow's post.
to save money i always bring my lunch to work. Saves $50 a week!
I ALWAYS bring my lunch. Saves so money money.
I save money by only allowing myself to buy something once I am completely out. Coupons be damned! I only shop when I need to 🙂
This is what I usually do, but lately I have been horrible. I need to stop going to Target.
omggg so exciting =)
I am not being a good money-saver lately but one of my favorite money-saving techniques when I'm spending is to google a coupon from whatever online shop I'm at. Before I ever checkout my online shopping cart I always search online for a coupon. It's gotten me as much as 40% off at my favorite stores and takes 15 seconds!
Yes very exciting! I always google for a coupon, almost always works!
