Goal #1

Alright I said I wasn't going to make a New Years resolution this year. THEN I saw that a friend had found coupons for pasta the coupons was for $1 off and the pasta was only $0.75 at the commissary. Then I watched the show "Extreme Couponing" on TLC tonight. I have now come up with a resolution to save MEGA money on our largest budget item (groceries). I am starting small with my goals and as I reach each goal I will set a new one.

I am a little embarrased to say it but I feel I must to accurately keep track of how much I am spending to see how this effects my actual grocery budget. As of right now I budget $400 per payday for groceries, YES that is $800 per month.

So for goal #1: I want to find a way to start a small stock pile of pantry items AND save at least $50 off my weekly grocery shopping bill.

I will try to begin posting on Sunday or Monday after my weekly shopping trip to see how I did with that weeks goal.

Happy Couponing!
