"Fall" into September Savings

[Frugalbigmama]

September Goals:

get rid of un-needed things and save the money for something ( not sure what yet)
continue organizing storage room. A place for everything is the goal.
Write out list of things to get done around the house. ( painting, patching holes, put tile down in bathroom etc. finish powder room etc).
Plan all meals and use up food on hand. Prep ahead to make it easier. Goal is no eating out in September.
Remind boys to pick up after themselves. Remind them I am not the hired help.
Keep up on laundry and hang to try.
Clean out the garaged to be ready for winter parking.

So far that's what I have.

coupon girl I've done that a few times show up the day before, good luck tomorrow

[jasperandchar]

Mrs.S that's great news with respect to selling those items

[jasperandchar]

Just waiting for someone to show up to buy some ice skates that we purchased for logan in March for school skating program and they no longer fit. Sure which when the school makes the kids take part in these activities (for 5 times) they would provide the skates and such (sigh)

Supper coconut chicken tenders was not well liked, dessert however got me 2 delicious from dh & Logan (my sweet tooth guys) so anyways, I will be making pulled pork tomorrow Jaden's recipe & request (lol) so going to get the pork out of the freezer now before I forget. All paperwork for the boys schools have been filled out (geez) tons of forms, papers, etc....

[Frugalbigmama]

Phew. I hear you about the first day of school paperwork. So glad that is done. Even had my high schooler finish a math sheet the teacher handed out that was to just look at lol. Bags are packed for the morning. 1 lunch made. The other is easy to throw together. Seasoned my whole chicken and just have to toss in the slow cooker in morning. Tossed a load in washer and will hang to dry in morning. Wish I didn't have to work tomorrow. So much to do at home.

Lol at the school paperwork, we just finished it. Plus the money drain of hot lunch, milk etc. just for the younger though.
I have the same plan FBM of no dining out this month. We have one dinner planned and agreed on to celebrate the birthdays. Seriously poor planning on my part, Logan's bday is 11 days before DH and Liam is 4 days after. We have some sport expenses too as fall lacrosse starts soon, but I love outdoor lacrosse. It's a great way to spend the Saturday afternoon. Night everyone

Wow. You guys are so busy in your houses. God bless you. I just keep sitting on my couch reading all the threads. Lol

But now that i am in the mood i am hoping to clean (mega clean) upstairs, do laundry, fold laundry (which i never do). Oh yes.. And i have to cook something too.... I have yet to decide because my hubby eats only and only chicken, son doesnt like chicken pieces but he likes curry from chicken curry, hubby and son like uncooked vegetables which we cant eat with naan bread. There has to be some curry with naan. So clueless right now....

Now i will keep posting in this thread. It's like keeping a daily diary.

[cath007]
