ReturnFest

Packages from Old Navy and Macy's came this morning. I returned all of it. I also returned the stuff I physically bought at the mall. I repurchased some clothes that I really needed for my daughter and used a coupon I just received in the mail yesterday. So $280 went back on the credit cards and I purchased $60 worth of clothes for $25 (after coupons) and used my debit card.

I started my lemon cleanse yesterday. I have been holding it off due to the crazy schedule I have had this past two weeks. I must say I am feeling quite chipper and full of energy.

I am deciding what to do about my career. I think it is time to move on up. I love my company benefits not quite sure about the company though. There is a lot of favoritism going on and it urks me. Dimples don't do azz kissing. I'll go more into that later.

I played the lottery far the first time yesterday. I won $4. Woohoo!

Good decision to return the clothes. Congrats on the lottery win but don't spend too much money on that as the odds are definitely against you.

Home Purchase Plan - How I faired

Back in January I developed my Home Purchase Plan (HPP for short). I listed exactly what I was looking for in my new home including my needs and wants. I printed up my HPP and carried it will me everywhere. I especially took it with me when I went house hunting with my agent. I had a momentary relapse (I'll explain more on that on another post) but got back on track and stuck to my guns. I ended up with a beautiful house that fits all my needs and wants. HOME PURCHASE PLAN The home I want: Price: $0 -> $190,000 $180,000 Ideal Monthly Mortgage (including taxes, PMI, HOA, & hazard) : $1200 (max $1300) $1310 Location: Surrounding Orlando Area Check Bedrooms: 3+ 4 Bathrooms: 2+ 2 Square footage: 1700 s.f. + 1810 sf Year Built: 2000+ 1998 HOA: $100/month max $150/yr NEEDS: * A-rated school district Check * Quick access to major highways Check * Good daycare Check * Nice

My $100 grocery budget and tips for saving on your grocery bill

I did a post back in October on how I kept my grocery budget under $120. In that post, I had pictures of the grocery shopping I had done earlier in the day for a total of $29.76. I also listed a number of ways I keep my grocery budget so low. Today I did some grocery shopping for meat and some other misc items. Here is what I bought: - 2 packages of chicken breasts - 2 packages of drumsticks - 2 whole hens - 2 packages of chicken wings - 1 bag of roma tomatoes - 1 bag of onions - 1 bag of organic baby carrots - 2 gallons of water (not shown) - 1 bottle of bbq sauce Total = $24.90 One big way to save on groceries each month is to package the food you buy into servings sizes. Your serving size depends on how many people are in your family. I separate out my sizes based on how much food my daughter and I consume in one meal. Take for instance drumsticks: My daughter will eat one drumstick while I will eat two. So I package those in threes. I know some folks are visual so here is wh
