It took a long time in life but I am finally learning to live by a budget. I don't spend money like I used to and rarely shop anymore. I am able to save money and am close to being debt free.
For the second day and night in a row, I have not spent any money on take out! This is a huge deal for me, as my previous posts suggest. I am so excited and proud of myself.
Oh....forgot to mention that I already have tomorrow night's dinner planned...grilled cheese and tomato soup. It has really helped me this week to plan the meals the night before and get everything out...then there are no last minute surprises...where I think I have everything I need and then realize I don't have it when I go to make it. Then I have to scramble to come up with something at the last minute!
Good for you! Tonight we had baked chicken, boiled potatoes, stuffing, corn and ice cream. The chicken didn't go over too well with the husband and my youngest is a vegetarian so...but my oldest daughter liked it and so did I! Needless to say, I will be feeding my aides tonight at work! I am truly happy you are saving your money!! And it does probably taste better...and more satisfying.
