I just saved a bundle on my car insurance.
No, not really but these week's grocery bill was $175.80 (my budget + $.80). With $35 worth of coupons and store cards, I saved $187.97, 52%. Woohoo! The biggest savings was on ground beef, I bought 15 pounds for $25. ($1.79/lb is cheap around here, it's usually $2.49-$2.99. I've never seen $.99 like I did back in Ohio.) So today I'm doing a mini-30 day freezer gourmet session with beef. Meatballs, lasgnas, shepherd's pie, sloppy joes, and freezing a few pounds by itself for baked zita and chili. (I know taco mix would seem like a good candidate too but the kids don't like tacos.) I hope chicken is on sale next week.
If I didn't lose you all with the boring grocery stuff, here comes the knitting news...
I'm working on the Etsy site for my knitting needle organizer. I plan to have some products made and the store started on Sept 1st. Of course between now and then I have 2 open houses, the 1st Day of School, a doctor's appointment, a Girl Scout meeting, and Verizon techs switching out our Comcast cable stuff. (If they screw up my internet connection, there will be hell to pay.) But I figure at least I'll already have dinner in the freezer!
