Hey April! I almost didn't notice that wasn't Lilo until Lilo showed up 2 seconds later. 😂😂😂😂 I started saving for Christmas last Christmas. 😂 I only focus on immediate family & friends, so it's $50 for family members and $25 for friends. The goal is usually around $300-$400 for the year so there's rollover into the following year. 😊
Great savings. I agree, that sounds like it is way too much for Christmas, but you have a lot of family out of state 🙂I usually limit myself to $20-$25 per person and I don't get gifts for everyone, just immediate family. Good luck with Christmas in July!! I did also email you and Melissa a couple of times 🙂 Hope you both are doing well! Edit: Most energy companies do that. It is called the Equal Payment Plan. With mine, at least, it gets adjusted every year depending on what I use versus what I pay for. Mine went from $99 last year to $85 this year. Also, if you have a white board, you can write down what you want for dinner for the week (Menu) and make sure one day is listed as leftovers. I have been doing that for about two months now and it works great (just my hubby and I though). I don't put the date before the meal anymore, in case we want to switch it up for that night and have something else listed on the menu.
Keep adding up Monday's mini"s
Awesome April ,yes minis add up.I'm using my monthly for Christmas❤❤❤❤
Great idea!
Eating the foods we purchase and shopping our pantry first, truly can save you a good portion of your grocery budget. 💰💰💰
Absolutely!! I definitely have room for improvement! Although I don’t think 400 a month for a family of three is too much!
I only cook the amount of food needed for that meal. It’s just me and my husband. Less leftovers but we now eat leftovers to avoid waste.
Definitely trying to be better at this!

Christmas is definitely something I want to do over 12 months next year even if it is just one savings challenge at a time!
I will definitely start doing more minis! New subscriber as of last night because of cat talk in a video.
Thanks for subbing! Lilo is almost always in my videos. She is our channel mascot. lol April
