What is a single mom to do when she has an entire weekend
without the small child she loves playing with and no events going on at work?
Well, this one is enjoying a very late brunch of chocolate chip pancakes (a
pregnancy staple!) and coffee while rocking out to a killer playlist. I’ll reveal
the amazing playlist later, so let’s check up on a resolution status, shall we?
Seriously, doesn't that look yummy?
Today will be a day where I focus on 2013: The Year of the
Budget. I have already started the year off making a HUGE sacrifice. I am no
longer purchasing Dunkin Donuts coffee, unless it is for a special occasion. At
almost $8.00 a bag, it’s just too much. There are a few items that I am
unwilling to compromise on (Jif crunchy peanut butter) so in order to offer
some wiggle room in the budget, I have decided to make a coffee sacrifice.
Eight O’Clock coffee is only $3.00 a bag, and is proving to be not as bad as I
thought it was. I think I can handle the switch and it not have a drastic
effect on my morning self.
Alright, the game plan for today is to organize the coupons
that I have found on the internet and start really reading and paying attention
to the blogs that I have found that focus on how to be a couponer. It will
probably also include viewing some Extreme Couponing on Netflix for motivation.
(There will be a football break for the
FCS National Championship game. Go Bearkats!)
