Laptop Fund and Tomorrow's Meal Planning

March 14th, 2011 at 05:30 am

Well, I just went through my wallet and DH's to retrieve one dollar bills like I do at least once a week and I found $4 between us. I also emptied both of spare change and had $1.72 for the coin jar. It looked like I had enough quarters for a roll and I did, and I thought I'd count pennies as well and had exactly 50, so that's another $10.50, so altogether I have $14.50 to add to the laptop fund. Doesn't make up for the $50 I had to take out for DH's carelessness, but it's a start.

    What is your homemade taco seasoning recipe? I'd like to restock our spices with ones I actually use. We eat tacos once every other week, I bet it would save money in the longrun to make my own. Please share!

    Good job on saving up for the laptop! You are being wise to save up and pay for it in cash.
