Coupons Do Work

FEBRUARY 4, 2016

I love to travel but when it comes to staying in hotels, I want to stay in a 5 star without breaking the bank! My favorite hotel in London is: the Dorchester Hotel. being a mom of a competitive cheerleader, I travel a lot to competitions both in and out of state. The out-of-state can cost me a lot of mulah.

There was the gas, the hotel, and the restaurants to pay for. We thought eating in restaurants was a main attraction of travel because you get to try local foods. Even when eating out on the cheap, we were still spending hundreds of dollars on food. Use hotel rewards. Ask for a better hotel rate or room.

Even buying pre-made salads and entrees at the grocery store is substantially cheaper than eating out. I don’t want to have a full meal every time my stomach grumbles, so to avoid the cost and caloric implications of café and gas station snacks, I pack my own in my suitcase and throw a few in my purse when I leave my hotel.

I grew up with a mom who loved to shop, and I can sometimes fall prey to “retail therapy” when I’m feeling down, and it’s so easy with Amazon…I try to reserve my book splurges and such for when I have Amazon reward points to use. You don’t need fancy cat beds. Just accept that your chair belongs to the cat.

Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 21, 2015

Be willing to sacrifice- there are things we had to do that made us look weird: home school, skip eating out as much with family, doing my own hair & nails, getting a wardrobe from the thrift store and forgoing paper towels. We are almost done with our 3-6 month emergency fund and will begin maxing out our retirement accounts.
