As I sit here drinking my tea, I am trying to come up with what I should write about this week. So here it goes…
As much as I love having new clothes and I am a true fashionista, it can certainly hurt our pockets, especially if we want to have what is coming out new in the market. I usually wait until the season is well on its way so I can find the stuff on sale, but sometimes you just can’t resist it. Last week I wrote about the Plus Size event at Maurices and I did end up buying the new clothes from the new line. The good part was that I had many rewards and discounts that helped make things affordable and that is usually what I do. I always have coupons and specials so I can buy things. I hardly ever buy things on regular price. I even feel guilty if I were to buy things in regular price. Everything eventually goes on sale so it is just a matter of time.
We usually can save money on staying in on the weekends. We are not big on going out much at night anyway so very seldom we go to a bar or something of the sort on Saturday nights. This certainly helps with our budget. We also don’t drink much alcohol so going out is usually cheaper for us anyway. So today we went out a bit in the afternoon with the kids, I did buy some stuff even though I shouldn’t have and the best part was that in the morning we went to a park and I got to bike for just a little over 8 miles and that is a great start after a couple of years not riding. The boys got to walk around outside and spent at least a couple of hours away from their electronics. Successful day overall…
Sorry today wasn’t as exciting but I thought I would just share a regular Saturday in our house and add a bit about saving money.
Until next time…
Thank you for reading,
Juliana
I enjoyed hearing about your Saturday.
