Its amazing the things you learn and admire from your partner....these same wonderful charcteristics that have drawn me to Collin are at times the same ones that annoy me...especially at 8 months pregnant...don't get me wrong...I feel very lucky to have such a wonderful kind caring partner in my life...and he is pretty darn close to perfect....perhaps thats the most annoying part...is often he is right....most of the time he is right...so that means yes you got it...often I am wrong....most of the time I am wrong....oh well I guess opposites attract...I am sure he loves this quality about me...always being wrong...it must feel really good to be right most of the time.........anyways I have been learning to become more frugal...from of course who else....Mr Right most of the time Collin....I actually enjoy going to the grocery store now and looking for the least expensive brand...or cost per ounce....I slow down and actually pay attention to what I am buying what is on sale....its amazing how much you can save just by paying attention....we read the sale adds everyweek...and base our shopping and eating based off what is on sale...we are going to take it a couple of steps further and start shopping in bulk on the items that we use all the time...stock up on the freezer and pantry on the sale items...and start planning more affordable casserole style meals...that can be cooked in large portions...that we can eat for a couple of days and freeze some for later.....food has just gotten so expensive...we need to figure out how to make it more affordable....before I would have never considered even really looking at the price of food...I simply bought what looked good, when I wanted it, for whatever price it might be......so this is a long way for me...it doesn't mean we won't eat well...infact I am headed to Sams Club to get a entire 10lb prime rib....its on sale for $5.69 a pound for rib eyes no bone...its a very good deal...I will have them cut it into Ribeye steaks and package it for us....very good quality meat...but at a great price....the other thing we are going to do is buy gift cards at the supermarket...if you buy a $300.00 supermarket gift card...you get 15% off your entire grocery purchase when you use the $300.00 gift card at the supermarket...thats hard to beat....so I have really embraced Collins good sound ideas on saving money at the grocery store...and am really enjoying it...one of the many ways he is right...
Now lets talk about when he is wrong....wrong...wrong...
