For all you Frugal folks out there, I have started taking a calculator with me to the store on Grocery Store Day-which is Monday. I also started taking my handy dandy assistant Mackenzie Rose with me to hold me accountable to the list and she does all the adding. It all adds up sooooo fast using the calculator! We are not to the penny on everything but it gives me a good idea once we are at the register. I've had to put stuff back because we have been close to budget and I had more items on the list to get. It has really made a difference plus its good mother and daughter time together. She is a drill sergeant when it comes to sticking to the list! I also want to train my daughter (and me) about wants and needs!
Have a good day!
Note to self-just take assistant next time-she gets distracted with siblings! We were doing wheelies down the isle at Kroger!
