I get excited about saving money

February 17th, 2008 at 09:36 pm

So the little man and I are leaving for Florida on Wednesday and I was thinking about getting him a new leapster game for the airplane ride (I am dreading two and a half hours of boredom) when going through my closet, I found a "leapster" game from the tv version my aunt bought him last year (I refused to let him play it at age 3 out of my dislike for video games). It's compatible with the portable leapster! This saves me the $20 I would have spent buying a new game! AND I realize I may have another game stashed away somewhere in my closet (Dora the Explorer). Yay!

I had a $20 reward certificate to DSW which I was able to use in buying myself new flip flops which came to a total of $2.13 (Nike...woohoo!) Went to the fruit and veggie store and bought a pound of strawberries, thirty apples, two bell peppers, three onions, five potatoes and about 8 bananas for $13. Life is just so good when you're looking for savings.

On the sadder end, I misbudgeted for a larger paycheck from my husband which put us out a bit. We'll get by, especially if I get our tax refund Friday, which according to their refund calendar, should be true. Sigh. One day I'm going to get everything right.

    One day at a time and remember to love those in your life as much as life itself. God Bless and have a wonderful trip. Keep up the great work.

    I agree. You sound like you know what you're doing; just keep at it.
    Be safe in your travels and best wishes for a quiet and amused ride.

    Yeah we all make misteps at times, but like somebody else said here on the blogs it's what you do in the next step that counts.

    Hope you and your boy-o have a good time on your trip!
