And it's tempting to buy her all the latest toys so that she can feel liked by everyone else - we start so early with that. Thanks for this good reminder. It's important to stop trying to keep up with the Joneses and living within our own budgets. If we can find contentment in what we have and what we can really afford, we'd all be better off with our money situations. I find my daughter asking the same question.

I bet you were a great speaker for them. I was a Charter Member of the Snellville Chapter of ABWA, but our group sort of disintegrated, unfortunately. Maybe it will restart someday. That’s cool!

This past Easter (the Saturday before actually) the Mall of Georgia Michael's (craft store) holds an even called "The Knack" in the morning where you could make an Easter pail for FREE! It's so fun and obviously inexpensive! We did the same at Halloween and have been pleased with it both times. And this way you aren't spending any money on an Easter basket or Halloween pail and it's a fun outing to do with your kids! They provide the pail, (it's like a sandbox pail with a shovel attached in the color scheme of the holiday. Lime green and black at Halloween, yellow and blue pastel for Easter.) the decorative stickers/foam stickies, and coloring sheets and fun other little projects you can do at home! There's no age limit and there's no fee or signup either! You just show up, take their stuff, then leave! It's awesome and I recommend other people try it out! What've you got to lose?? :) Almost forgot! All the kids go dressed up in their costumes for the Halloween one! Double duty out of the costume you spent money on!

I'm totally addicted to saving money now! I look for deals everwhere! My latest steal of a deal was at Target. I got 7 bottles of Tide Stain Release for $1.88 each! That's a 73% savings on each!

]]> Comment on my publix profit by Christi Todd http://thebudgetauthor.com/blog/grocery-savings/my-publix-profit/#comment-9 Christi Todd Thu, 08 Apr 2010 02:38:57 +0000 http://thebudgetauthor.wordpress.com/?p=81#comment-9 Last week I made a quick run to Publix in Newnan, the flyer at the front of the store had a $2 coupon for several items including Alka Seltzer, the coupon did NOT exclude trial size; I preferred the trial size for traveling, the Alka Seltzer was $1.49, this should have made this item a $.51 money maker that I intended to roll over into another item; the cashier was apparently aggravated and she pulled the coupon back out stating I could not buy the trial size, as she was reading the coupon I stated that the coupon did not exclude trial size, she was obviously annoyed and only gave credit for $1.49, because, it still made the item free, I decided not to argue with the cashier. This not the Publix that I normally shop at, however, I was just wondering if you have ever encountered this situation before.
