So here is how my NEW budget is going to look:
$40 per week (down from $60 in 2009) for our household consumables- groceries, hba, cleaning supplies and paper products for me, DH and 2 ds's (6yo and 3yo) 3 cats and one mini pin (dog, <15 lbs) I am also including costs for my newspapers, I typically buy 5-10 every week.
I also do surveys to earn Paypal credits, some occasional rebates and pay-to-click for gift cards. These funds are funnelled back into my budget.
Here's to my goal of $2010 in 2010!

WOW-- I mean WOWWWWWWW!! That is so awesome! We don't have mega deals/Kroger stores like that here, tho we have a store that is in the Kroger 'family' and sells Kroger items. Go figure.
I am just in total and complete awe of your list above and the low, low, LOW price.
Great job!!- WOWWWPosted 11-11-2009 at 03:44:04 PM by Mrs H - What is a discover card coupon?Posted 11-17-2009 at 01:00:36 PM by shaystr
- There were insert coupons for $1 or $2 off any purchase when you use your Discover card, they expired 10/31/09.
We were lucky and got the $2 in our paper! I saved over $60 that month just with these!Posted 11-18-2009 at 08:27:36 AM by Cynthiabutterfly
