Bare as in "hair" or bare as in "commando"?!
Guess who went out to dinner again last night...my favorite,Texas Roadhouse. Then, to the movies and for ice cream afterward. This was our last hurrah for a while. Hubby and I did some serious talking yesterday, and we're going on a tight budget for the next year. No more credit cards...we're paying everything off. No more living from payday to payday. Credit cards are evil! So, looks like staying on-plan will be just a tad easier for the next year. We plan on having one outing each month...maybe dinner, maybe the movies, etc. So, we'll be looking for alternatives for family time. I think a nice hike on Saturday morning will be nice for the famiy. And, maybe we'll even start going back to church. Hubby will start planning our menus and we'll have only one grocery store run for the week. Last night, we slept with the air off and the windows open. I'm so glad the pollen problem has let up quite a bit! Today, I'm installing those thermal drapes in my living room....I've had them for over 6 months now! And, the water saving shower heads...I've had them for a while now, too. And, I'm no longer taking my hot bath soak every day. *sigh* That will be a tough one. I need to find an alternate way of relaxing. And, my oldest DD will be using Suave or the cheap stuff now. I have a feeling that she'll be my toughest obstacle. Just wait until she finds out that I'm not buying her summer shorts from Abercrombie or Hollister! You'll probably hear her scream all across the country! This won't be easy, but I'll try to make it like a game. It's probably only a matter of time before the whole family starts calling me the "****." My type A personality thrives on this kind of challenge!
So, who has some great money saving tips for me? I've only shared a few of my ideas here. Believe me, I've got a ton!
Hope everyone is having a great on-plan day.
