A new year and a sample

First the sample. Visit Total for a sample of their new Cranberry crunch cereal.

I know it's been a while since I've updated, but I've been busy with the holidays, as I imagine you have been! For the new year, my family has decided to do a couple of things. First, we are going to start back with the monthly budget written down. I try to keep up with it in my head, but there is alot more extra spending that way. I'd like to reduce our credit card debt by 25% this year at least. That's kind of a big goal since we have a good bit, but hopefully we'll aim high and hit, but if we miss, that will still be a good bit of it gone!

Another thing we are going to do is switch to a monthly amount for groceries. If we do $100 for example, if there aren't good sales one week, I'll spend $40, but then the next week I have $160. I think it will work out a lot better with the new couponing.

I think that's all for now. I hope that your new year is fabulous!
