It seems our weekends have returned to their usual busy productive times. Although we had a wonderful morning of sleeping in and browsing the Internet, we set out to do our big monthly grocery trip. I've been wanting to get back to buying in bulk and making more foods from scratch. In the summer when I was unemployed, I actually had the time to pre-make a ton of meals and save us a lot of money each month. Though I don't have as much time these days now that I work full time, I want to try and make more food and buy from bulk to still save us some money. The more we can save, the more we have for Pickle.
This last week I've been reading my tightwad gazette book and getting great ideas for how to be more frugal. Since I'll be off from work for a year with Pickle, the more I can be frugal the better. I'm also looking forward to my Baby Bargains book that I got. If it's anything like the Bridal Bargains book that the author wrote years ago, then it'll be amazing. That book saved us so much on our wedding. I can't wait to see how much it'll save us for our baby.
Later this weekend we'll be doing the budget and seeing just how much the pregnancy will cost us. I'm really anxious and hesitant to look at the budget but I know it must be done. Anything to help prepare for Pickle.
One loaf of bread, two dollars.
A box of cereal, four dollars.
A baby Pickle....priceless.
