Time to return to disney!

This is Dave's Grumpy shirt that we got at Disney in 2005. It really needs to be replaced! And here is my plan!

I started couponing about 2 months ago and am learning all sorts of new things all the time! And I am saving between 40-50% most times I go to the grocery store now. In my mind, I am just counting how much my total goes down after I give them the coupons. Well I have more cereal and fruit snacks than I think we will ever need (although I'm sure I will buy more when I get cereal for 25-50 cents a box!) and my laundry room now looks like a grocery store! Tonight I went to Publix and my total went from $25 to $12! I was happy! And I started doing the RiteAid rebate thing. I really hope this will be the last time I buy diapers for Camden! (For overnite only!)

I got to thinking about how I need to really save the money I am saving and not just have it flow out of our checlking account into whatever I want to spend it on! So this is my plan. In the past, I usually spent $125-$150/wk on groceries. I usually tried to stick to $100, but it never worked. But in using the $100 goal, I am now putting into savings whatever money I don't spend up to $100. Also, all my rebates will go into savings. So if I only save save $25/wk (spend $75), then in one year, I will have saved $1300! So in one year, we are going to Disney world! Will keep you posted as to how I am doing. I need to be accountable!!
