Potty Trained

Im not sure why because it has been about 2 weeks now..but I just realized that my last baby boy is POTTY TRAINED!!! No more changing diapers! No more lugging around a diaper bag! No more paying for diapers ( although I will still buy wipes because they come in handy for messy hands n faces) WOW!!!! Almost 9 years of diapers n I am done...Part of me is SUPER EXCITED!! (Bring on my new coach bag) but part of me is really sad....
I cannot kid myself into thinking I have babies anymore =(...................Where did the last 9 years go? They happen WAY too fast!!!

Food shopping for February

So my goal this month is to hit 700. I know my goals probably seem high to people but remember we are a household of 6 and this covers EVERYTHING...so I think once I get down to the 600 or less I will be happy dancing!
Date/store/spent/saved
2-1-11 /Publix /37.14/63.07 ( Not the best of my deals but I did pick up all the candy for nina's goody bags for her bday party)


To be continued

My monthly total is......

So this has been my first real month of stockpiling as I had said before. In my research I have read that the first 2 months or so you will spend a bit more but then your bill will get MUCH less. So to recap my goals for the next 3 months

Jan- 800 total on ALL groceries, household items etc...
Feb- 700 total on ALL groceries, household items etc
March and beyond- 600 or less total on ALL groceries and household items etc

Even though I feel like I literally lived in the store this month I actually JUST made my goal by a TINY margain....

Total spent in Jan - 799.65 ( a 35 cent under budget WOOHOOO...LOL)
Total saved- A whopping 844.32

Plus I scored :
4 free 12 packs of soda for dealing with a bad customer service issue
A free Coffee party kit which included several goodies and 15 free coupons for coffee creamer for dealing with a bad customer service
issue!

Yay for me!! Now onto next month =)
