Welcome to my new blog. I've been a rooky couponer for about a year now, and I finally feel confident enough to share neat savings tips with whoever wants to stop by my page. This blog is a fun way to keep up with my family budget and really keep track of what all my family purchases. This blog will be based on my goal of spending $200 or less between September 30 and December 31, 2009. I started this goal on a Facebook note, but have now transferred to blogspot for formatting purposes. Boy am I glad I did... Let's get a running start shall we?
:: A not-so-quick Publix & Walgreens Run ::
So, I had a few hours to kill before I had to pick up the hubby from class and I'd had my eye on the tuna sale at Walgreens this week, so I thought I'd swing by and get the tuna... then I decided to "swing by" Publix without a shopping list to see what staple items I could get at a decent price.
I sure found a few items LOL... an hour later...
