--At HyVee Hamburger Helper was on sale for $1.00, and I had coupons for $.75/off if you buy 3. Stocked up the pantry on those (girls like them so we have that for supper occasionally when dh is at work)
--If the weather isn't too bad we have dance tonight. I'm going to pack a picnic type of supper we can eat there so we don't spend money eating out.
--Hung up some clothes downstairs to dry.
--DD has a half day and wants to go shopping later. I told her nope, we are going to wait till closer to when she will need new clothes/shoes for spring.

~brought leftovers for lunch (pasta fagioli)
~bypassed the mini mart for a fountain Diet Coke on my way into work this morning even though I realllllllly wanted one

Saved $52 on my grocery bill w/bonus buys & coupons
Packed lunches & snacks.
Bypassed getting coffee after grocery shopping!

Bought boneless-skinless chicken on sale at Kroger yesterday ($1.67/lb). Today I'm making chicken salad, chicken and noodles, and chicken fingers for the freezer. I'm staying home since it's cold and that will save on gas.

Corie

- Cooked some homemade oatmeal & chocolate chip cookies this morning.

- Made some soup with leftover vegetables in the fridge for lunch.

- Prepared cauliflower and celeri so it wouldn't go bad. More likely to eat it if it's all ready.

No money spent so far and I don't intend on going anywhere so it should stay that way.

I have only left the house to take DS1 to school. I thought about picking up a cappicino somewhere but made myself just go straigt home. Kids are watching tv in the living room without the lights on~big picture window gives out enough light so it is not at all like they are sitting in the dark. No other plans to go anywhere today except to pick up ds1 and go to work.

I've been at work today, took a homemade lunch and steered clear of any stores so i've not spent a thing today

well i have been
1. melting crayon in heart shaped molds for ds's classroom party(it has taken me all day so far i'm done peeling and breaking now just have to bake)
2. used my new eliptical for 30 min gonna try and do another 30 during nap time
3. going to make a menu for the next couple weeks
4. just gonna pick up ds otherwise we are not going anywhere.

made lunches for school age DD's. The baby and I ate at home. Really wanted to order take out but made myself take frozen chicken breasts out of the freezer and make chicken nuggets, green beans and leftover rice. I even pulled out my bread maker after dinner and set it to the dough setting and I've got a small loaf of bread and cinnamon rolls baking right now! (smells yummy and now breakfast is taken care of.). Didn't go anywhere today so no money spent (which is good since payday is Friday and our account is basically empty!)

I had dinner cooking in the crock pot while i was at work. ... didn't do much else today, other than work...
