Our family is trying to make a budget and stick to it. The goal is to be debt free as soon as possible. We've never really tried to live on a budget before, but it's the only way possible to pay off our debt and stay that way. We're using Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover. We've decided to budget $125 a week for shopping money,and if possible knock that number down as much as possible. This includes groceries, toiletries, medicines, basically everything except clothing. I've been couponing for almost a year now and do pretty good.
Here's what I got at CVS today: (5) bags of M&M's, 9.9 ounce
(3) boxes Chocolate Cheerios, 11.2 ounce
(3) boxes Honey Nut Cheerios, 12.2 ounce
(1) box Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal bars, 6 count
Coupons used: (5) $1 off M&M's
(3) $1 off 2 General Mills Cereal
(1) $.50 off General Mills Cereal bars
$10 Extra Care Bucks from last week
So I got $49.86 worth for $14, plus a free $10 gas card for spending $30 on certain items. Not too shabby!
At Piggly Wiggly I got (2) 5 lb bags of Dixie Crystal Sugar and a bag of Fritos. I didn't use any coupons, but redeemed 4.50 Greenbax to get the sugar free. So I paid $2 for $10.47 worth of stuff.
All total, I paid $16 for $70.15 worth of stuff, which means 77% savings! I love it when that happens!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I'm so thankful to be able to create and
share projects with those who have the same passion for crafting as I do.
