Sometimes, with careful planning, I'd leave the store with a cartful of groceries for ten dollars or less. I think they stopped it because of me :(<br /><br />Dollarama RULES!!! xoxoSaucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16959141177904095053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097927960276093777.post-41549631953104821742010-02-27T08:29:49.085-07:002010-02-27T08:29:49.085-07:00I love that show too!

However, the cheapest place is Costco so thought if I do buy it, I am paying the least amount of $$$. Yes, I have gone through her blog, printed out all the handy sheets of budgeting and been trying. One of the best tips from Gail, live on cash!! It is so amazing how you can get through a week with cash only.<br /><br />To a fellow Gail peeps!!KMP Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03636091798669423457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097927960276093777.post-28867094319066347242010-02-25T20:41:24.906-07:002010-02-25T20:41:24.906-07:00Kate this was such a wonderful post!

It is the same one I got when I was 17. I too definitely fall sucker to Starbucks, and shoes/handbags. but with 3 kids, realistically, the things I used to work so much overtime for, really aren't huge priority anymore. I look forward to trying the laundry soap, admire your little changes, but the diaper one, I just couldn't do. sorry doll , love ya, but this momma is touching the least amount of poop EVAH!

Once I graduated school and started paying off loans I soon realized that I would be working for a long time (the joys of going to school in the USA when our dollar was worth 54 cents) but when it is paid off we could probably afford it. <br />I must admit that I do waste money! I love designer jeans and starbucks chai tea! both crazy expensive...but my new years resolution has been to take my lunch to work (a savings of $250 plus dollars a month)!<br />I really need to talk to you more about a budget!<br />You amaze me!!!!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596320437257577737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097927960276093777.post-32417264262483613352010-02-23T11:12:25.482-07:002010-02-23T11:12:25.482-07:00Super post Kate!

Big purchases are always saved for I got my 1st credit card after I had a baby! (I needed it sign up for classes online!) I love blogs that have grocery challenges and point out all the sales each week at different stores. Eating our is crazy expensive and I think it is important to teach our kids that it is a treat not a right to eat out. McDreamy only ate hospital food at lunch before we met and after a few years of home made lunches he complains when he has to eat at work! I would love to hear more tips from you about how you save in s'toon!sassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086164978583892354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097927960276093777.post-87945924691224113352010-02-23T09:33:21.404-07:002010-02-23T09:33:21.404-07:00Love this post Kate!!!

We've had to work with a budget for a long time, it is sometimes difficult but our young daughters benefit from it... while out in the world they will rarely ask for something and even the peer pressure of what Johnny has at school hasn't influenced them. Hopefully that will continue through the years! We try to do inexpensive fun things together as a family because really family is what it's all about!Jerri-Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07015208647011720584noreply@blogger.com
