1. Going out of business sale! Our local Rite-aid stores are closing next week, so they had a 70% off sale on their entire inventory.  (While I did have to wait in line for 45 minutes!!!!) I did get amazing deals on fish oil, vitamins, coffee, and our favorite brand of shampoo.  **I should have… Continue reading Five Frugal Things

1. Made birthday "cake" at home My daughter had a birthday this past week and we decided to forego the traditional cake and made Carmelitas (think oatmeal cookies stuffed with caramel and chocolate) and brownies instead.  **Considering she usually asks for a Great American Cookie cake, I count this as frugal:) 2. Birthday gifts I… Continue reading Five Frugal Things

1. Walk 500 miles this year (220 down and 280 to go) I walked all of my miles outside this week.  My strategy for walking in the summertime (in Alabama humidity) is to go early or late and so far it is working out well:) 2. Eat less than 40 net carbs each day (4… Continue reading Weekly Goal Update for Week 24

1. Sold my husband's truck This was a nice surprise for us because we had not officially listed the truck for sale yet.  Luckily, a local landscaper saw it parked by the road at my parent's house and asked if it was for sale.  Of course, we quickly said yes and sold it within 2… Continue reading Five Frugal Things

1. Walk 500 miles this year (210 down and 290 to go) I walked 13 miles this week!!

Eat less than 40 net carbs each day I did… Continue reading Weekly Goal Update for Week 23

Here are some blessings that I received this week: 1. Raincheck I missed out on a great deal on ice cream sandwiches last week at Kroger because they sold out quickly during their 4 day sale promotion.  While I was checking out at Kroger last week, I was chatting with one of my favorite cashiers… Continue reading Blessings This Week

1. Used books I have been looking for a few books in a series that I have been reading lately, so I was happy to find them at the library used book room for just $.50 each.  My daughter also found a book that she was missing from a series for just $1. 2. Kroger… Continue reading Five Frugal Things

1. Walk at least 500 miles this year (197 miles down and 303 miles to go) We have had a hot and humid summer week this week (typical for Alabama), but I sucked it up and did all of my miles outdoors. A lot of sweating occurred but it felt great:) 2. Eat under 40… Continue reading Weekly Goal Update for Week 22
