The chronicles of one husband and wife who spend money where it counts, and save money where they can.
The Beginning
Having recently taken Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University course (which I highly recommend if you haven't taken it already) my husband and I have laid out plans for our financial future. It's wonderful having a goal and a direction, but living it out gets a little tricky sometimes. So, I think, why not make it a fun challenge?
I have long enjoyed fashion, have a growing love for cooking, and LOVE a bargain. While my bargain hunting is nothing new to me, having financial goals in mind only ignites this passion all the more. It went from a fun side hobby, to a lifestyle challenge I willingly accept.
Please understand, this is not a blog about how little money I spend...anyone can do that. Simply live off of Ramen noodles and run your thrift store clothing into the ground if that's your only goal. No, one of my greatest joys is to find unique ways to make my money stretch far but only in ways that you wouldn't notice my frugal spending if I didn't tell you. In other words I find it a fun challenge to spend less, without sacrificing quality.
So feel free to read in on my endeavors as I spend money only where it counts the absolute most. :)

Sounds like fun! Feel free to check in with me about other "bloggers" to follow and definitely look into eMeals. Dave recommends them as well. For a small fee they help you find *recipes* using the current sales at stores YOU choose that are near you! So your quest to make more from scratch goes a little more smoothly. Have fun being thrifty!
ReplyDeleteI've been getting eMeals every Wednesday for months, but am only starting to use it because they don't have any stores in our area so the sale prices don't match up. Let me know what blogs to follow though, I'm always curious for some new ideas and inspiration.
