Pinching Pennies

Happy Thursday!

Thursday around here is moo-lah day! James brings home the bacon! I make money too don’t worry! This isn’t a 1950’s cliché, promise! James just makes a heftier amount and it’s more stable; so we use his money for everyday things!

So my morning consists of crunching numbers before the kiddos arrive and during naptime! The money will never go as far as I hope but we are comfortable, and I am grateful for that!

Since we don’t just make oodles amount of money we need try to be practical! We are good for the most part! We don’t believe in credit cards and taking a loan out on this house was really hard, but we knew it would be worth it! We do pay extra every month, even if it’s ten buckaroos! So we are really good about not having debt and paying it off, but we aren’t the best at saving! We do get a certain amount taken out right away from our checks, but I’m talking about saving extra money for bigger and better things like a new car versus 1000 teddy bears? Just kidding about the teddy bears, or am I?! We don’t always spend money in the right places though!

Sooooo… finally getting to the point! I wanted/needed organizing supplies! So trying to save some of our hard earned money, we went to the Dollar Tree! I’m a sucker for places like that! They had the cutest things! Some things almost Target worthy!

Oh and the colors are so pretty! The greens and blues oh my! I spent a little over forty but look at all those containers! James did throw a few things in the cart too! Wal-mart doesn’t have containers that cheap in such pretty hues! Mostly just white!

So I’m busy working on trying to make new homes for all these lovely containers! I’m putting some here, some there and everywhere in between!

I’ll keep you posted on where they end up! I can’t wait to share!
