How I plan to spend less than $150 total on Christmas gifts

So I am challenging myself to spend no more than $150 on Christmas gifts. Big ticket folks will be my daughter and my mom and I have no clue what I am getting them.

Here are the gifts that I have bought:


From My Deals Blog:

You can get a set of 3 Built a Bear Shrek Babies for $9. Just go through the link, add the item, use $5 off code 91885 at checkout, and total will be $5 + $4 shipping = $9

I just bought this for my godson.



I also purchased a 6 items of this fragrance from Bath and Body work 2 days ago. My total was $21.60
Per Single Ma:

Select six (6) Bath & Body Works Signature Collection items (any scent) that are on sale 5 for $25. Remember to select SIX of them though. When you view the shopping cart, your total should be $30 plus shipping costs. Then type in the promotion code FROSTY and click apply. Your subtotal will be reduced by $10 and shipping will be reduced to $0. Easy gift set for 20 bucks!

I will split this up into 2 sets (3 in each set) and give it to two folks off my list.


I bought these about 2 months ago and only paid $1.97 for the shipping. (The sale is over even though the link shows the price as $0.)

To date I have spent a total of $32.28 and the gifts I bought will take care of 4 on my list. That leaves 6 remaining (10 total).

I think I got this on lock! :-D Anyone wanna join me in this challenge?? I dare yall!


Off to the Classics in O-town. Have a great Saturday!!

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...

Yeah......

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Life has been extremely busy. Trying to get used to the extra responsibilities on top of my existing overflowing list. I will try my hardest to post my do's and don'ts of buying a house tonight. Hope all is well.
