I'm doing the same thing this weekend in an attempt to see if I can do either a low spend or even better a no spend Christmas.<br /><br />I like your plan for groceries. That is kind of what I've been doing this month too and it seems to be working pretty well. I'm scouring the weekly ads to get as much as I can for each dollar and scrounging for coupons too. It's a job in itself but it seems to be paying off big time. :)Thrifty Mom In Boisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503584246610396717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-7388084513462847272019-01-25T12:09:12.526-07:002019-01-25T12:09:12.526-07:00I am going to the post office today to buy stamps ...I am going to the post office today to buy stamps for Christmas next year. I know a nickel won't break me one way or the other, but I had just rather not spend the extra. I send out about 60 cards and that is 3 bucks I don't have to spend during the holidays.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-69284437750598479202019-01-25T08:46:22.309-07:002019-01-25T08:46:22.309-07:00Sounds like your Christmas prep is off to a great ...Sounds like your Christmas prep is off to a great start! I think I will sit down tonight and make a list of things I can make for this year with the supplies I have. Those bowl cozies people are making now are on my list to make for gifts. They look easy, functional and best of all use up the supplies I already have including abundant batting scraps. <br /><br />I definitely have to practice "use it up" this year. I need to make each dollar count as that is the only counter measure I have to combat inflation/wage stagnation. This helps me to not be helpless but proactive. We are watching our food very closely and making sure to use it all up. I have also decided to switch back to paying cash for groceries as I feel like I spend less that way. I plan to use a set amount weekly and have a separate envelope for stock ups. I think this may work, Hopefully anyway :)Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06727244783967271865noreply@blogger.com
