Girl Scout Cookies and my food budget…

It’s funny how I can be SO SO diligent each month to only buy groceries when they are on sale AND I have a coupon.  I will forgo luxury items because I know that at some point in the near future, they will be on sale and I can stock up at that point.  I have even given a look of horror when my husband convinced me to buy a $1.00 box of candy at Walgreens to use as a “filler item” (for couponing newbies, filler items are supposed to be as  cheap as possible)…  And yet, this time of year comes around and I immediately forgo said diligence by buying 3 boxes of Girl Scout cookies.  Samoa’s, Thin Mints and Tagalongs for those who are wondering 😉  No coupons.  No sales.  3 boxes of FULLY PRICED, marvelous Girl Scout cookies.  At least I only bought 3… last year I bought 8 so I am proud that I showed some sort of restraint this year.  Haha.  I will be adding these numbers to my monthly spending column.  Total Spent: $10.50.  Total Saved: BIG FAT 0%.  Has anyone else hurt their monthly budget by splurging on Girl Scout Cookies this month??

Meet Liza

welcomeimageThanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts! My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..Read More Here...
