Before I get to our goals...I've tallied up this month's coupons savings. So far (drum roll please) we've saved $78.17! I had no idea I was doing this well!
In other good news, the electric bill was down $30 as a result, I believe, of me using the clothesline instead of the dryer.
Here are some new/revised goals for our family to consider...
1 - Begin the $20 challenge. Use money saved from coupons, $2 per load of laundry air dried, and $2 per lunch eaten at home. Use $20 challenge money for ???.
2- Create a designated Christmas account. We have 2 places in which we save for this expensive holiday and I'd like to see it more efficiently done.
3 - Use Wal-mart giftcards to purchse gasoline for the month rather than use cash. Saves 3 cents per gallon.
4 - Finally put up the curtains, check the water heater temperature, and BUY A NEW FREEZER!
5 - Consider a family vacation to New York in a few years and the best way to save for that.
Goals, Goals, Goals...They're Everywhere!
