Budgeting

Well, me and dh sat down tonight and we finally realized that for the first time in a long time, we will be able to really have wiggle money. About 1400 extra a month... I can't believe it. He wants to split the money though...

I already know that his will be down the drain... I want to put away mine towards my trip this summer and savings. I am only going for a week to see my friend up in Greenville, SC, but I want to have at least 1,000 to spend for me and ds. We are planning on going through the Smokies, and I also want to hit up Gatlinburg. I want to go to the Ripleys Museum!!!
I also want to treat me and my bff for a day at the spa while her man watches my son.

I was originally supposed to go during Spring Break, but with the job and all put on hold it didn't happen.


I am finally scoring some pretty decent deals, which have me excited! Who doesn't love it when they are paying YOU to buy groceries!


I posted some items on freecycle the other day and a woman responded today. We talked some and she told me her situation. Has seven kids under one roof!

I tried to tell her about couponing, and the response..."I don't like to shop... I'd rather not deal with it." I told her I would send a link to here for her just in case, and that I would be happy to drop the clothes by for her even though she lives forever away.

Sometimes I feel like I am trying to sell something when I want to tell someone about this. I just don't understnad how someone would NOT want free stuff.
