Challenges/Accomplishments This Week
This week has been all over the place. Tuesday I had a working interview that I had to turn down. The biggest reason it was almost a 50% pay decrease. We still have a few other options in the works. 

I plan to do some budgeting posts next month, but I want to start with this. Shopping at the right places can really save some money. All the products on the table cost a total of $55, except the baby, he was free :o) This was all without coupons. Look for more posts in October to stretch your food budget!

  1. That toad is ugly...Sorry, don't mean to offend the reptile lovers. My son caught one today, it was small, but I am sure he was thrilled none the less. He looked at it for a bit, then tossed it to the tree where he found it. I got upset with him and told him we are to treat all God's creatures with respect. He surprised me when he threw it. He assured me it didn't hurt it. I said perhaps we should toss him body length for body length the way he just tossed the toad. I don't think he liked that idea very much.

    Where did you do your produce shopping. IT looks great.
