Well here it is the last day of 2018. Tomorrow we start a new year with new plans and goals and who am I kidding, like tomorrow is going to miraculously change everything. Many a New Years plan will fail but I figure if you don't even have a plan or a goal you have already failed so you might as well plan large and make an attempt. I think it is the mental idea of a New Year that spurs most of us on. Plus the months of January and February are always hard in the north so have a goal to work on even if it peters out in March is still a good thing.
Daughter is not yet home from the court house and I am waiting for her to go out and do a few more Christmas sales for next years things. I would like to find some candied pineapple and some nuts to freeze. Maybe a few gifts for next year.
This is my last day as my austere measures will go into affect tomorrow.
Monday money saving Madness
1. Home for two days between trips and spent nothing on groceries so we did not have to worry about leaving things to go bad.
2. packed snacks for our trip to save on food.
3. purchased gas at places where it was cheaper than in town
4. hit some good sales in Twin falls and bought several next year Christmas gifts.
5. purchased many next year gifties at sales in Lewiston
6 .made a batch of bread, froze two loaves and brought 1.5 with me to Twin Falls.
7. wearing some new clothes that I relieved as gifts. Satisfies the new to me without the cost.
I am looking forward to going home and enjoying the New Year with a new outlook. How about you?
Kim
