5. Have more family game nights
So far this month, we have played:
-a DIY Dungeons and Dragons type game that my son made up.
-Pass the Pigs
-Just Dance Disney version on the Wii
*If you need ideas as to what games are fun for families here is a list of our current favorites.
6. Buy more used items and keep track of the savings
This week at the thrift store, we bought a Harry Potter t-shirt ($2), a Spanish textbook ($1), and a Stink Moody book ($.50)
I also bought a used Teaching Textbooks CD set from a friend at co-op for $50. The usual price is close to $100, so that was a bargain! (This was not mentioned in my Frugal February tally because homeschool supplies are considered a bill in my system.)
Estimated running total saved by buying used for the year: $160**
**I am doing a rough estimate based on how much I could find the items on sale or on clearance at a store for…so its not a perfect guess, but close.
7. Finish my 2019 NaNoWriMo novel (~35,000 words) and publish it before November 1st.
