Deals

My goal for right now is to only take $40 a week out of the bank for groceries and other things. I know it's only the second week of the year, but so far we've done well. Obviously it won't work every week. But I want to stick as close to that as possible. The first week I even got gas with some of my $40. This week I had to take an extra $10 from Tim for gas. I even have some money left over and have a couple of rebates to send in, so I will still be getting some money back. I want to see how little I can spend and how many deals God blesses us with. It does help that I have 1/2 a cow in our freezer and have a pretty well stocked pantry. I will just highlight some of the deals, if you want more details, ask me in the comments.
