Hello All!

Hi! How are your savings going? Me-pretty good. I have not been blogging because my computer flatlined!! What a Christmas gift for me.....

So thanks to my really smart neighbor, I am back up and running and will be blogging even more than before. I also intend to keep better records for my savings, budget, and figuring out just where all our money went. Based on our budget, we should have more in savings, when instead it feels like we have more stuff around here. One of our large projects during break was to go thru every room and gather things for a garage sale. My husbands side of the garage is PACKED! We are hoping to sell enough stuff to go to the waterpark in Rockford this summer. I'll keep you updated.

Here are some things I am using to help keep me on track for a maximum saving year:

This is a great spreadsheet for entering your receipts and knowing your savings thanks to Mommy Snacks here
Also Kendra has a great budget worksheet here
and as always, keep clicking on those coupons over there on the right.....see them??? I have saved a lot by stacking these up with sale prices. You may not think that a few cents here and there help, but they do! You'll see when you start using these 2 worksheets! Well I am off to find you all some freebies!! Have a good day!
