Saving Money

Saving money.....Something only my mother was good at. She always had money cause she never spent anything on herself. She set herself a budget every month and stuck to it. How come I can't do that?

I know the concept of saving.....don't spend what you don't have and try to put the excess in the bank. Simple? What's excess? Do I have any of that? I know I have an excess of days before a paycheck. All joking aside, how do you save?

My Husband of 31 years saves by not spending his 10 dollar bills. He folds them and puts them in the back of his wallet(hello honey *waving*). It works for him until precious one(daughter) needs something(hello dear *waving*).

I use to save by collecting coins like the Sacajawea coins. I only saved like 97 dollars before we went on vacation. I think that was the last time I was very serious about saving and I needed that vacation. What I am good at is saving on groceries. No brags just facts. I can in good faith tell you that I have saved at least 60% on my grocery bill every time I shop.

Starting tomorrow I will give you my routine on shopping. What I look for in a sale and I will also give recipe on how to cook most of it. I might post some pictures if I can get my tech help(son) to help me(hello shug *waving*)

Until we meet again
