Cut back on what I spend

It is now winter (well not offically for about another 5-6 days) but there is a foot of snow outside…so we will not be going anywhere to spend money for a while…This is going to suck…mainly because the snow and cold is making my car not want to run…and also my car’s heat is not blowing hot air…

I probably spend about the same…but it goes to bills

Oh ya and i am going back to walmart for groceries…EVERYTHING is there so i don’t need to make more than one stop…and also they have better food… I think the food at Aldi gave us a stomach bug…my kids and I have both had tummy troubles out both ends….lol…ever since I got food at aldi.

I AM TRYING!!!

I still need to get some things at walmart…so that I will be able to still get the Box Tops for my son’s school.

Oh yes…and the thermostat will not long be above 70 degrees…if it gets cold.. I’ll just have to deal with it…I have to try to get the gas bill down to between $150 and $175, for next month.

From now on I will start shopping for food at Aldi’s…It’s sooo cheap!
From now on if I want to buy anyone in the family clothes…its off to the goodwill and garage sales…A few times a year I’ll go to Old Navy and get stuff but aside from that..its good will or any other good, 2nd hand stores…

I have to choose 10 things I will not give up the name brand kind.

1. Tide laundry detergent
2. Bounce dryer sheets
3. Dr. Pepper
4. Huggies Diapers
5. Herbal Essence Shampoo
6. Beneful Dog food
7. Wal-Mart Brand Coffee Creamer (I will try Aldi’s to see if I like it though)
8. Huggies baby wipes
9. Charmin Toilet Paper
10. I DON’T KNOW YET

Oh ya and another good thing about shopping at Aldi’s is that you have to bring your own boxes/bags so that’ll be great bc I can finally get a use out of all these damn walmart bags laying around.. I have an entire tall plastic hamper full of them! So, ‘bout time some of them got some fresh air lol.

I seriously need to turn this into a priority!!! I spend way too much right now…So, I need to really cool it with the spending.

So, I need to get back to buying those boxed dinners…ya know that come with everything…and then in addition possibly buy the frozen bags of steamed veggies…

...for this goal is March 31, 2008
