I am so motivated!

January 1st, 2011 at 12:01 am

I'm so glad I started this journey on Christmas day instead of January 1st. It's given me more time to think about what I want out of 2011.

Feeling inspired, I returned a few purchases I made over the past several weeks. I always keep the tag on until I am ready to use the item. My credits are:

Target $12.50
Macy's $47.68. (I owe 7.56, net credit $40.12).

Target is cash credit, Macy's is store credit.

The total credit($60.18)is going to the "OH NO" fund. A portion will be funded this month and the balance next month.

I have a tendancy to stock up on items needlessly.
I'm going to deplete before replenishing. The only exception would be extraordinary deals & toiletries (eg. kleenex, TP). One example of an extraordinary deal is Quaker Oats Granola bars - 8 pack. Target usually has them on sale for $2.09 a box. I picked up (4) boxes of "holiday themed" granola bars for 47 cents. Yes, 47 cents a box just because they were considered "holiday". Always check expiration dates.
These are good until June 2011.

Good bye 2010, Hello 2011!

Happy New Year to all!

    I love that cheap "holiday" food! One year I got big bags of Halloween candy for 75 cents a bag... the good stuff! Happy New Year!

    It's so odd that they are marked down like that... as if your mouth (or stomach) are going to care about whether there are holly berries on the label? Hey, if it offers some insurance of savings for the pantry, I'm all for it, so tell the stock boys to lead the pallets of Santa-shaped goodies my way! At 47 cents, you are definitely on the right track. Smile Jerry
