Shopping

As a single mom, I am very frugal. I shop only when my daughter or I need something, or when we can get really good quality stuff for cheap. One thing that I have been doing since my daughter was born is buying her clothes out of season. By doing this I can save about 60%- 80% off the regular price. Stores start having there clearance on winter clothes around January through March, to make room for there summer items.

Also stacking your coupons or sales work too especially you know how to plan it out. I use Ebates to help me stack.
Shopping online at the children s place for example:
Clearance items shirt original  $24 now $5 (savings of $19)
Take addition 15% off = $4.25(savings of .75)
Shop through Ebates and get 2.5% back = $4.20( savings about .10)
 So in total I pay $4.20, and save $19.85.

Below I went to Target the other day and sign up for there Red card that automatically saves me 5% every time I use it and also I get free shipping. I mange to get her two winter coats, 3 sweat shirts, two pairs of thermal underwear, and two sweat pants for about $45 dollars.

Kicking the Fast food habit

     8 days into the New Year and I think kicking this habit is the hardest thing to do. I have no plans on eating fast food ever , but I know this is not feasible. I am addicted what can I say. I think I have a favorite item  at every fast food resturtant there is, and my favorite thing to wash it down is a  nice big cup of coke.

How was am I going to kick this habit? My plan was to make a second NYR which is to cooking more. Don't get me wrong I know how to cook read a recipe and all of that junk. But I am just lazy, I guess when it 

comes to the whole washing the dishes part. But I guess that why they made dishwashers for....

This is going to be hell  fun!
