Weekly Savings

Ok, so in order to make this more satisfying, I have decided to make a weekly savings post. But, since I did not start until late in the week last week, I am going to do one now, and then one each Sunday night to reflect on monies spent and hopefully, not spent as the weeks progress. I hope that I learn a little something or at least that I have evidence of my bad behavior for the future. Obviously, I am going to list things that I did not buy as savings, but I will not for instance, get crazy and list a pair of Louboutin's as a $995 savings because I'm going to lie and say I didn't buy them, haha, no. I would not make this purchase in real life so there it is and here I go.

Friday - Started contemplating gifts for upcoming birthday's and decided to bake! This would have theoretically saved me $10, 2 times the $5 spending limit (which may have to be revised and revisited, but it is a good goal to aim for)

Saturday - Had breakfast at home - $10 savings. But when out for lunch using a 20% of coupon =) which came out to be about $16. Lot's of food though. Dinner at home $20 savings.
Bought a camera bag and a gift online. Shipping was free on at least one item saved $6 or so.  Also, remember, I went to that Jewelry party and spent $38. Total $93. Whew!

Sunday - Breakfast out with coupon. Lunch out with coupon and dinner out, sadly, no coupon. This was like a $100 day. Plus we had to buy paint to fix the paint debacle at the other house. Make that nearly a $200 day. Sheesh. I need to be better at this.

So next week the recap will be a little more precise.
