I posted several things on craigslist so hopefully I will make some money this weekend.

1/6 - $0 son had hockey game that ended at lunch time and he wanted me to stop by and pick him up something to eat but I actually planned a head and had snacks already in the car waiting for him as I knew he would be hungry.
1/7 - $0 Best friend invited me to lunch and we went somewhere that I had a gift card which I don't count since it didn't come out of the budget.

I haven't sold any of DH's clothes yet so if they don't sell by the weekend I am going to start a garage sale pile for those items I can't sell now. We have a community wide Garage Sale in May and we always make about $100. I know not a lot but it is better then nothing and once the sale is done I will donate the lefterover items.

Great job on the eating in!!

LOL my kids are color coded too. Green, Blue, Red and Pink. I'm purple and DH is black.

my albums are different colors for different years.

Thanks for the encouragement. Plugging along with this. Ate out tonight prior to CCD as it was Moe Monday & burrito, chips & drink are $5. Of course, it was not worth the 12 miles round trip to come home for the 90 minutes & DS needed balsa wood for Science Olympiad tomorrow so I hit Michael's. Good thing was everything I bought for scrapbooking/stickers/paper was in clearance so with the balsa wood total was $10.72, could've been worse. Target was $11.02: 2 bath towels (clearance for $2 each), 1 pack Valentines day paper, 2 big Jake & pirate pencils for DS2 for plane to Disney, 2 package Goldfish & 2 can tomato soup. Also returned a $20 video game. Thanks to this thread & destash, I am thinking very carefully prior to buying if I need it & how long will I be storing it!! Double motivation!

Not crazy at all!! When there are six people in the house it just makes more sense. I can glance at the calendar and know right off the bat, DS16 has a meet and DS12 has art class on the same day.
Ask Nancy, there are months that it looks like a rainbow threw up all over my calendar.

Oh and I have a back up calendar on my phone and I can color code the kids there too.

My mother always did that for the 5 of us too. We even had colored coded cups, plates, toothbrushes, towels, and everything- it was easy to see whose was whose on everything and what needed cleaning and replacement.

I color code everything here.. there was 7 of us..... now with 2 off at college it's a little easier and less of a rainbow throwing up... but boy do I miss all that stuff..... Trace's song "You're Gonna Miss This" really does ring true!!!

today is a NO buy day!

tyniknate · 01-09-2013, 10:27 AM

I think today will end up being a $0 day too! Although I'm soon going to hafta take a big hit. DS just announced their class will be taking a senior trip. Who knew being a senior was so expensive? Those of us who have first time senior kids should get some kind of warning.

For all of those who haven't had a senior yet, here's your warning. Its expensive!
