This week I saved $27 of my weekly spending allowance! It really helped that I didn't go to work today and yesterday, but still.

Yesterday, my husband and I opened our Christmas presents after we put the kids to bed. I gave my husband about five books. Instead of wrapping them, I told him to close his eyes and I put a book face down in front of him (I did this five times). He thought that I was so cheap for not splurging on wrapping paper for Christmas. I told him he could do a lot worse than finding a woman that wanted to save a little money.

Today I made my lunch and forgot it in the refrigerator. Ugghh!! I spent $6.29 for lunch at Kelly's with the AAA discount.
