Today I spent $33.00 at Walmart for groceries and 4 fitted twin sheets - something that will make my life so much easier!

Also had to put gas in dh's van - $20. and gas in the truck $10.

Total spending today was 63.00 But the next few days should be better.

Well today we took the kids to Toys r us to spend their christmas money. Then we went to the mall.

At tru - I spent .59 of our money - tax for my dd who is 3.

At the mall, I spent $3 on cookies - they smelled sooooooo good!!
Then I went into the $store and spent $11.

Then I went to walgreens for a few sale items and milk - $21 there so total of 32.59 for today.

Thinking alot last night about our goals and how we might reach them - I have decided to work on groceries and eating more frugally. We spent about $800 in the last month. This is NOT good!! There has got to be a way to cut this down. Off to search for some quick, easy and frugal meals.

Today starts the next year of guerilla frugality. There are so many things we need to do and the only way to accomplish it is to get right down to it.

We are aiming for 20 no spend days monthly. Prefer a little more, but will be happy with that amount. I will use this journal to keep our progress updated.

Will start thinking of ideas to get our guerilla frugality in high gear. Tracking all spending, also keeping a silver change jar and a pennies challenge jar.

The month of January (actually starting 12/28 payday) I will work on our grocery spending for this month. I want to learn to cook new things that are healthy but also frugal. Scratch cooking, learning to make convenience foods and so on.

Wish us luck!!
