Songstress2's ~ Savings journal

[Songstress2]

Well...I decided to begin a savings journal! It's a new year and I have been trying to come up with a good way to save more money. We are still on a single income and we have 2 kids. My hubby is in the Navy and we live in Gulfport, MS! Well...i will be getting my receipts from my purchases this year...starting from Jan 2008. Thanks for reading and encouraging! God Bless!
