In light of the confusion last month with all the hecticness going on in my life, i have decided to try out the cash envelope method for groceries/hba/etc.this month I may add eating out into that also. I am trying to determine how much to allow myself a week. I am thinking that perhaps with the past few months my oop has been 250 to 350, but my oop has also been as low as 125, just depending on the money we have available and the sales that are going on at the time.

We are are tight...

I have not had much time to update my blog. what started out last week as kmart superdoubles and running around doing deals transformed then my dh was in a lot of pain and missing work and he just had surgery today on his neck. Did i mention ds and dn is having their bday party on saturday at my house. Not sure if i will get this month updated until next week but there are some awesome deals i came across at kmart and cvs...
