Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I am heading down to South Florida today to go spend Thanksgiving with my parents and siblings.
There will be no spending on Black Friday for Dimples. The only thing that caught my eye was a desktop computer at Best Buy for $199 but it is an early bird special and I don't think I am willing to wake up at 3 and fight through crowds and crowds of people just to get a computer. So I am good. Only place I may shop at is Macy's and that will be for clothes for my godsons for X-mas.

Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and enjoy your long weekend. I know I will.

Love, Peace, and Hair Grease!!!

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.

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
