My grandson worked 12 hours last week and made 96.00. I explained to him that he would have worked at least 6 hours to pay for the groceries...<br />When we get down to it and figure up the amount of time it takes to make the money we spend on frivolous things like cokes, snacks, coffee, and so on, it makes me think twice....Good post.Shughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287830519297050445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-71837661588814688602011-06-22T18:54:04.501-07:002011-06-22T18:54:04.501-07:00Hummm, you are talking to me aren't you?

I say keep trying :-)<br /><br />As far as no spend days. I love them! Unfortunately I am so bad about spending money on Sonic drinks during happy hour, grabbing a quick bite for lunch when we are in town running errands, etc, as well. We only have one vehicle and I love the days that I can send the van with my hubby to work and stay home ALL.DAY.LONG. Yes, I get a lot done, as well, but love not having to leave the house or the temptation of spending unnecessary money. <br /><br />You are so right! $20 a week saved in petty spending is $80 in your pocket at the end of the month.<br /><br />Stop by my blog and say howdy! www.ourownvillage.blogspot.comAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02198340348534108650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-58318968679094205332011-06-22T09:42:27.797-07:002011-06-22T09:42:27.797-07:00Hi Elaine-I've been trying to post photos too,...Hi Elaine-I've been trying to post photos too, but guess it's a Blogger issue. Of course the day I'm trying to join a blogging party!!! I've only done one before! Anyway, I love the days I stay home and save money-no gas used, no odds and ends bought that I didn't plan on. If my daughter and I go out and pass the sushi place-she'll want it for dinner, even though dinner is planned or made. I only give in once in a while. Money goes a lot quicker now that the kids are teens! I do plan my menu, grocery list, use coupons and my grocery store gives cents off per gallon of gas. I've saved a $1.10 per gallon!!!!!! I Have to buy the food anyway. Oh, and I get cash back on my credit card.poppilinnstudioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06268807099271196838noreply@blogger.com
