Goals-

I have set a few goals for myself and family one being set a grocery amount each month. I havet decided how i was going to do this yet but im thinking mayb put $100 a month on a debit card and just use it for groc/walgreens/cvs etc each month and once its gone its gone which means i will have to use my EBC(cvs),RR(walgreens),Rebates to maximize my monthly spending money so that it will seem like i have more to spend.I wish i would of thought of this at the beginning of the year but just last month is when i started really couponing and trying to save the most. I have started writeing my savings and OOP down in a journal and eventually want to start blogging it all. Then if theres any money left on the card at the end of year i can add it to saveings or use it for christmas.Its an idea.

second is menu planning and useing all leftovers and wasteing nothing. This is going to be a challenge for us because my daughter is very picky when it comes to eating. I have started writeing menus down in a journal also.

Third i want to save and donate my extras and free stuff that i got from couponing like this month with the monitors at walgreens thats a great start. my daughter has also showed interest in donteing to our local humaine society so together we are going to start gathering free food-treats and anything that we can donate then we can go once a month and donate these things.

I am sure there are many more ways that i will think of that i want to set goals for but for me now these are the ones that i have been giveing alot of thought about.
