Taxes


We have always sent our taxes to an accounts office to complete.  Since Chad lost his job recently I figured I would try doing it myself on Turbo Tax.  It was so easy to complete (altough it take me a little over two hours to do).  But I saved our family $250 dollars just to do it by myself.  Go me!!!

Spent $50     Saved $250

The Beginning of Grace's Spring/Summer Clothing


I decided that I needed to start stocking up on some Grace's clothes for the next season coming up.  Since I am starting off with NOTHING, I decided to start early.  I didn't do the best job but I didn't buy anything at full price and saved a total of 46%, so it is a nice start.  Plus I spent a little more at Gap but I have always had the best luck with there clothes holding up through wear and wash.  Knowing that I will have another little girl wear these same clothes makes it easy to buy from there.
Gap spent 30.00 saved  8.00
TJMaxx  spent 6.99 saved 12.99
Gymboree Outlet spent 29.57 saved  21.99

Starting off

I have been SO excited about all that I saved in the household that I decided to start tracking my savings.  This way I can actually see my savings together.  Maybe I can learn from it how to save better.  Please leave comments on any great deals you found around the Gwinnett/Walton County area!
