We went and bought a used truck this weekend. Which means we are gonna have to stop spending money on things that are not necessary or important. Like snack foods and MacDonalds. We have been doing the snacking like crazy since we stopped smoking. Gained a lot of weight in the process and wasted a lot of money. I'm not sure exactly how but we seem to have managed to spend all the money we were thinking we would save when we quit smoking lol. On the bright side it at least isn't going on cigarattes or the taxes on them which have gone up again. Except for the weight gain we are healthier now.
And I discovered a Save a Lot store not too far from here. Their canned goods are much cheaper than at the regular grocery store here. So will be doing some shopping there once a month or so to stock up. That should help some. And I am gonna plant a few things this year. Tomatoes for sure. And a few blueberry vines and raspberry vines. Those probably won't bear this year but next year perhaps will be good. Blueberries are expensive at the store.
I recieved a check from
Inboxdollars over the weekend which will help. It's just under 30 bucks so not a huge check. It's enough to get the tags for the new used truck though. At least it is if they haven't changed the cost on that. It was nice to get that as I was about broke again too. And I am liking it a bit better since they changed it a bit. They have made it easier to make money with it. Not sure easier is the right word...simpler maybe. Anyone wanting to get a bit of extra spending money once in a while should check it out.
The next extra money (after bills) that comes in is going on some mulch and potting soils for all the trees and things I am going to be planting and transplanting.
Have a great spring folks! :)
