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.

The biggest thing that's been helping me is by keeping cash as my spending money. The only times I use my card is for online bill paying, and when filing up the gas tank since I hate having to go inside. Any left over money in my checking account is going to be deposited into savings!
Congrats on moving to wordpress. 🙂
My recent post My September Goals
This is something that we are still working on. glad it works for you 🙂
Our spending has sucked two months in a row. I am looking forward to a fresh start in October!
I try to run minimal errands in a week and in only 1-2 days to save money on gas.
We don’t own a tv! We watch tv shows on Hulu or use Netflix and our local library to watch movies on the laptop.
Great way to save!
I save $1, $5 and $10s that have 16 in the serial number.
My money saving tip: If I want something expensive, I'll wait a few months before actually purchasing it. If I still want it after that amount of time, I'll know that I really wanted it and it wasn't just some passing fancy!
This is something that I try to do also.
Hope the puppies are okay after the vet visit and that it wasn't anything bad!
It was nothing bad, just their yearly vaccinations.
Yes…having an accountability partner is so key for being healthy and exercising regularly! I regularly run with some local girls and they definitely make sure that we all run together a few times a week and we talk about our good and bad food activities! It's so fun!
Hello. Great job. I did not anticipate this. This is a great story. Thanks!
Haha well I didn't talk about him too much in detail. That would be a whole 'nother post! But I did talk a little bit. Enjoy it tomorrow!
Thanks for entering!
Aww that stinks.
Sounds like an easy way to save!
Yes that always helps us save too.
Yay!
