2009 Round Up...

I cannot believe a full year has already passed! Holy Cow! After adding up my numbers, I am happy to report that by using coupons, shopping sales, buying on clearance & being careful with money, I have saved my family:

$ 10,419.21 this year!

Wahoo! Over 10,000 dollars, can you believe it?!

Just for fun this coming year, I'm going to keep track of how much I can feed my family of 6 on. The other day while we were eating dinner, I calculated how much our meal was and it was .50 total for everything! For lunch the other day, it was less than $2.00! I absoulty HATE to cook, but I love to add up how much the meals are, so maybe this new little game will help inspire me in the kitchen!
