Used the dryer and disposable nappies. Bought kids books off ebay that I didn't really need but they were only $7.

When I use a coupon, I make a special point to tip more than "necessary". I want the restaurant to keep issuing and accepting coupons, so I want the waitstaff to feel good about coupon-users. Plus, even with a good tip, I'm paying less than I would have without the coupon.

Went out to dinner with a good friend and picked up the bill ($30).

Bought a 50 pound bag of sunflower seeds for the birds, money I don't have to spend, but I enjoy feeding them. (and the squirrels)

I got a caramel freeze from the bookstore, i ate out three times (Fri-Sun), bought some lipgloss, and some shoes(they are red and I wanted them so bad, lol)

*update, the red shoes are regular retail 100.00 but getting them for 28.00 dollars.*

I splurged on a special shampoo/conditioner that I wanted to try, that I didn't really need.

Thank you- I am sooooo grateful to him for giving this new lifestyle a chance. Ive been home for 1 year (as of last week) and in all honesty, our marriage is stronger than it's EVER been (16 years). (He tried to give me $20 of the $30 to go towards our next wood purchase...but in the end, I convinced him to just have some fun with it.)

Aren't you bored?

Bored. I've had moments, sure.
I used to work 50-60 hour weeks for over 10 years and made lots of money doing it. I managed 7 departments and over 70 employees....

Now, however, I run a small business in my home- which keeps me busy and I enjoy it alot. I also take care of elderly parents who live here on the property in a small home. I bake our meals from scratch and am able to save thousands each year by being a more frugal, aware shopper, I am home each day for my teen when she gets home from school. My husband and I have a firewood business and I run the splitter...hard work, but it is another avenue to keep me home for my parents. i breed labradors...my female is pregnant and due next month. I make our presents. I babysit my grandchildren when one of the parents needs help. I help senior citizens that I come across understand protecting their finances from fraud.

Most importantly, I have learned how to enjoy the day as it comes. I love sunrises and sunsets...I enjoy my daffodils and tulips...i enjoy my husband and am grateful for his support in my staying home.

And I know, when the day comes that my parents are no longer here with me, that I did absolutely everything I could for them while I had the chance.

Bored....maybe...and wonderfully so. Thanks for asking.

Yesterday, I went shopping for an Easter dress for my daugher and I bought two dresses. Then, I went looking for a pair of shoes and bought shoes AND sandals. Oh well, none of it was too expensive and she'll wear all of them this summer.

I too needed an Easter outfit. I looked in 9 different stores before I found my shoes. SteinMart had an Agner slide marked down to $14.99, regular price $49.00. I saved on the shoes but wasted gas and time going all over town!
