We picked up Ta’s glasses today. He fought me about wearing them as soon as we got them! He didn’t even wear them long enough to get the nose piece adjusted. We met TJ at the park and had a picnic, and on the way home I stopped for a large bag of M&M’s. For each minute Ta wears his glasses, he gets an M&M. I started it after he woke from his nap. It has worked well, and he’s been keeping them on for longer periods of time. He looks adorable, if I do say so myself!
As you probably noticed, I added a new ticker to the top of my blog. I have recently started to be more diligent with my use of coupons because of the fact that we will soon need to buy a larger vehicle. We do not currently have a car payment and would like to keep things that way, but quite honestly, we don't have the cash saved up to pay for a vehicle in full (at least not enough cash for a newer vehicle). My goal is to save $2,000 by the end of January 2012. That equates to a savings of about $250 each month. I have always used coupons if I had one, but never really made an effort to maximize my savings potential. Until now. And it's awesome!!! I wish I had started sooner because the savings available are crazy. I love the feeling I get when I save 50% or MORE on foods and items we use every week. Our grocery bill is typically $80-$100 per week or $320-$400 per month. That seems high but considering we're a family of 7, that averages out to about...
