Hi friends! Happy Friday:) It’s been a rainy day here and the kids and I have had a cosy day of watching videos (the wizard of OZ), reading the Farmer Boy (Laura Ingalls Wilder),snacking on cheese and crackers too! I’ve been watching videos about the No/Low Buy spend on youtube, and I’ve decided to join the fun because I’m really tired of the cluttered/too much stuff in the house (usually after a major holiday). I’ve been decluttering since last year but I still have a long way to go and I’m not giving up. This is really the main reason I want to do this! Less stuff=less stress!
Hubs and I are debt free (except for our house mortgage) and we would like to keep it that way! As I do this I know it will benefit my family financially too. We have financial goals this year so with discipline and work, it’s possible to achieve them all!
I enjoy reading and I plan to read the books I have before buying more. Some of the books I want to finish in the coming months!
I did a little inventory this week of what we have. This is the lists that I made and I’m sure I missed something but this is a little guide for me to have. It’s been a while since I bought shoes/candles/essential oils and I really have no plans to buy more. I’m including them in the list just to remind myself of what I don’t need to have. I will never sacrifice my family’s health just to save a couple of dollars in the end! Health is wealth friends:) It’s important for us to have quality supplements(ingredients matter!) most of what we see in the grocery stores are not the best quality,thus they are cheap. My kids don’t have lots of summer clothes so I know we will be shopping for them when the time come. Hubs too will be buying new clothes for this year!
So far this week , we’ve cooked at home and used what we have in the freezer and pantry. We did stop at Mcdonalds yesterday because Mia always gets a treat after school on Thursdays and she wanted McDs.
That’s it for now friends. I hope you can join me in this little fun challenge of low spend and more savings!
Going to prepare dinner for the fam and enjoy a Friday night here! Stay safe:)
