Productivity

This weekend is going to be a very productive. Especially if the remainder is anything like my Saturday morning (mind you its only 9:30 am). I have estimated my tax refund for this year ($1335,) completed my monthly report for December 08, and calculated my January 09 budget.

Oh yeah, and like a typically mom, I am did all that while cleaning, cooking breakfast, and doing laundry. :-D

Remainder of my To Do List:

- 2009 Goals
- 2009 Career Plan
- Home Purchase Plan
- Pay bills
- Leave apt by 1 pm and have fun for the rest of the day


Hope you all are having a productive morning also!

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...
