New Year's Budget Resolutions

[mindyd]

I really want to get better with Grocery Shopping, I need to start looking at ads and stocking up when stuff is on sale and use coupons. We also need to stop buying so many little things that are not needed and add up and I want to start putting money aside every month towards Christmas.

I plan on not buying any gifts without having a reason. I used to buy things when they were on sale and stick them away, even if I didn't need something

Same here! In fact, I just took all the toys from my gift closet and donated them to Toys for Tots. I was finding that I was buying gifts for birthdays anyway, because we never had stocked what that child was into. There's a reason some of that stuff is clearanced at rock bottom prices! I decided my space was more valuable to me than a bunch of gifts that I may or may not ever give away, so out they went! The only thing I will stockpile at good prices is consumables like food and cleaning or HBA items that I KNOW will get used up!
