Hello Everyone!
Part of my "new leaf" is my goal to pay off debt and start saving money! I have become utterly obsessed with using coupons and finding amazing BOGO deals. I have made a couple of trips to the grocery store this week and it is my mission to make the best decisions! So far I've done pretty well. The idea is to find the deals in the grocery store circulars and try to match up with any coupons I can find. When I walk into the store I know exactly what I'm buying...get it...and get out! The problem comes when we start to wander the aisles and find all of the stuff we're hungry for! NO...don't do it! Get in...get out...and make sure your wallet is still full. Proper planning and being prepared is key! Publix has great BOGO deals. I stocked up on lunch items for my daughter and snacks. I am also committed to not eating out and using all of the resources for dinners that I already have in my pantry and fridge. Dinners may be interesting but no more wasting money for this mama! If that means I am eating toast and spanish rice...then so be it! My husband is currently deployed so I am only cooking for myself and my daughter! We are going to save all the money we can during this time and pay off some of that pesky debt that is looming over our heads!
God wants us to be better stewards of our money. My pastor always said that everybody tithes somewhere. I want to start saving money and not blowing it on ridiculous things. I recently told my husband that my biggest reason for paying off debt and being more frugal with our money is so that we can give like never before. I want to be able to bless others and not constantly trying to bless ourselves! It is better to give than to receive! :)
