Ramsey Style

In Dave Ramsey form, we are trying to save money every since way possible!

Here is a list of ways we are attempting to save:

• Start grooming Lexi myself. I am little nervous about this one. I've watched some tutorials on YouTube and I think I can! That saves $30 bucks a month!





• No more Publix unless somethings on sale and I have a coupon! I'm majorlly guilty of going to Publix because it's easy and honestly it's my favorite place to go! For groceries, I will use the TruCouponing website. I get anything that's a great deal at various stores and whatever else I need at Sams! I know this is going to be hard but it will be a big money maker for us!




• No more rented movies from our TV! This was a killer when we added it up. At 5 bucks a pop those babies really add up! Instead we use Redbox or Blockbuster Express!




• Check out books from the library instead of buying books!




• Actually sticking to our budget!

Bundle of Savings

I recently found a new website I couldn't resist to share. It was created by a lady with 4 children who she homeschools. She used to spend $600 on groceries and after using her Tru Coupon technique she spends $250...Incredible!

I put her ideas to use today when I went to Publix and saved more than I spent!




Here was my transaction:

• 4 Bags of Eight O'Clock Coffee (Buy 1 get 1 Free at Publix) at $4.93 a bag
• 2 Boxes of Betty Crocker Super Moist Cake Mix (Buy 1 get 1 Free at Publix) at $1.59 a box

In addition to the Buy 1 Get 1 Free Deals, I used two coupons. One was for $1.50 off two bags of coffee and the other was for $1.00 off two bags.

In the end...I spent $8.95 and SAVED $13.95!
