Saving money cooking at home

December 28th, 2018 at 08:17 pm

Since I got home from the hospital we have been doing awesome on eating at home and have saved a ton of money! We charge everything on our Discover Card each month and pay it off in full each month, so it's easy to see how much our are spending on different categories like eating out. Our statement cut yesterday and the difference just in line items is staggering!

Since we have been eating at home I have been cleaning out the pantry and freezers to get stuff used up. We completely cleaned out our main freezer that is connected to our kitchen fridge and threw some things away, took everything out and washed it all out. Now it is nice and organized and I can actually see what we have in there. Smile I still have two more chest freezers that I need to get cleaned out, but it's a good start.

We have been using up lots of deer sausage and brats from last year before they get too old. I also made pheasant stir fry which used up 2 bags of pheasant that MO shot last year, an entire bag of frozen broccoli, a bag of frozen rice that a friend dropped off for us with homemade eggrolls when I got home from the hospital, plus leftover carrots, onions, mushrooms, celery, spinach, and peapods from the fridge. All of the fresh veggies only had a day or two left of life in them so I was happy to get them all used up in a yummy dish and not waste them. I also used up two old packages of ramen noodles for MO as he doesn't like rice, so I ate the rice with mine and serviced his with ramen. Made a huge healthy pan and tons of leftovers too.

Hopefully we can keep up the minimal eating out into January and have another low credit card bill to start out the year.

$20K Update - BIG CASINO WIN!!

December 26th, 2018 at 05:47 pm

We had a nice Christmas Day at my MIL's house and one the way home we stopped at the casino that is only about 5 mins from her house. We weren't there too long and we hit this awesome win for over $1000! We played a bit more and then headed home with our pockets full! The holidays have been really terrible missing our babies so it was nice to have a fun surprise and to not think about how sad we are for awhile. Most of our recent savings money went to our home insurance bills for our 2 rentals houses, but at least that is less that was taken out of savings in the long run. Our home insurance bill was actually about $2500 but we had some extra in checking to help cover it.

JCP $10 off $10 purchase coupon

December 6th, 2018 at 06:59 pm



I got a $10 off of $10 coupon in the mail from JCP, I love those! I looked around for some time and found these two items in the clearance section, total OOP for me was only $1.26!!

My JCP has moved all of the clearance for the entire store into just one section that is just a giant clearance area....I am not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand it is convenient of course to have all the clearance in one place. On the other hand for a reseller like me who is willing to snoop around to find the deals, it gives me a lot more competition because it's easy to find the deals when they are all in one place. So still undecided on if I like that set up or not.

Girls Arizona Heart Jean Shorts (Bought 1)
Regular Price $32.00
-27.21 Clearance Price
