DH and I did not do any grocery shopping this past weekend as to be honest with you, our house is full of food (thank God, we are blessed). I always overshop when there is a really good deal and our stock pile is now ridiculous. So we spent money on flowers for the front of our home as well as I have a little flower garden at the cemetery where my parents are buried. I tried to buy more perennials this year and of course I still had to get a few annuals. I am so pleased with all my gardening this past weekend. Now I have more flowers than I needed that still need to be planted. I'm trying to find places for them and a co-worker of mine also gave me a morning glory. Can't wait to plant that tonight after work.
Our 52 week challenge is still going great. We just passed week 19. I just love this challenge and am so glad we are doing this for the second year. DH and I are so alike when it comes to spending money. We definitely know the difference between wants and needs and we hardly spend any money on ourselves. We also pay by cash only. We go out for dinner maybe 5 times a year. We are pretty frugal. We are debt free and consider ourselves blessed. I don't think we will ever change our ways.
It was DH's birthday yesterday so I took him out for dinner at a Chinese Buffet where if you go on the "day" of your birthday, you don't pay!!! So only had to pay for myself. :cheesygrin:
There will be no grocery shopping this upcoming weekend either. We are hosting a barbeque for our family and DH will be making his famous home-made burgers. (Can't wait). Burgers, hot dogs, caesar salad and macaroni salad. Wanted to make another side dish. Can you ladies think of anything I can make?
Hope you all have a wonderful day.
