Beginning of The Budget-day Two

Well, it’s day two. Yesterday went okay with spending. Today, to continue with my goal of doing something to save I reduced my magazine subscriptions and saved $5.00 every month or $60.00 every year. We live in a very rural area and sometimes the only outside influence we get is through magazines. I also enjoy relaxing and mindlessly flipping the pages. So, the tally so far is $14.53 saved every month or $174.36 every year. That chunk of change keeps growing and already I feel like I’m doing a great job.

     A heads up since it’s Friday- I have been thinking that weekends should be  the time to really crack the whip so it’s going to be a big project. I’m thinking of tackling my pantry and freezers and using everything up and only buying the essentials. I’m also thinking of doing a blog instead…does anyone know a paying blog site? Every cent counts.

     A potentially huge burden this weekend could be the weekly Wal-Mart, grocery, errand trip. My goal for this is to make a list of only what we need and stick to it…easier said than done. I hope everyone has a great weekend and finds a way to save.
