Saturday!  Usually a shopping day, but we stayed home instead.  I guess it will wait until tomorrow.  We took down Christmas stuff, mostly, rearranged a little furniture, and here's what we consumed.

Kristin spent
$0.00

Kristin ate
1 piece german pancake with butter, whipped cream and syrup
3 sausages
3 cups of coffee
2 pieces leftover veggie delite pizza
1 diet coke
1 candy cane (from the Christmas tree.)
1 bowl of cheerios with milk and sugar (1tsp)



AJ spent
$0.00

AJ ate
1 piece German pancake,
3 sausages
3 cups of coffee with cream
2 chocolate filled crepes
1 can of coke
3 pieces of pizza, 1 sausage/pepperoni, 1 veggie delite

It's still early- 7:40, so I am wondering if we will have to add to the post.  We'll see.

We have had some discussion about ways to further shave spending.  Usually one mentions, and the other ignores.  I think we can do without HBO.  AJ thinks the biggest savings would come from losing the 2 cable boxes in the basement.  We have been trying to get the basement into shape for more use by the grandkid throngs when they come over, and want to make it welcoming for occasional guests, but he's right.  I best someone turns it on like, once a month.  We'll have to figure out exactly what we would save.

I am interested in being really frugal with the food budget.  I bet we can.  It's amazing how much room we have in the freezer with a little intention toward using our stockpile.

  1. Your netflix subscription can be viewed on the basement TV and you are already paying for that and that's all the kids really care about anyway.
