Being "Frugal"


So, like my old roommate and friend, Nancy, I decided a while ago that I was going to try to be a little more frugal. Some weeks I take the time to follow the ads and clip coupons, and other weeks I am not so great. I have not taken any classes yet (although it has peaked my interest) to get the full use out of deals/coupons. As you can see above, it is quite the table full of food, and the grand total.........not quite $80. Now, some of you might be saying that isn't such a great deal. Well, some of the items were on the "deal" list, and a few items were just plain necessities. Like the frozen meals...they are necessary for me to take to work and were on sale, but not as good as they could have been. Best deal...the big thing of bottled water regulary almost $8...I got it for $2.79. Ignore the junk food. Sue me, I have kids...and I also have a sweet tooth! :)

I was eying the mini eggs too :). I only have one child who doesn't eat "real" food yet, and my pantry is still full of many of the above items. I have such a sweet tooth too.
Good for you on the coupons though, I really need to be better about that. I know I could save a ton!!
