Oops! Forgot to tell my husband we were starting a new savings program. I had done really well yesterday by eating all meals at home and was feeling really good about not spending any money. Last night when my husband got home he had stopped by a card shop and bought a Mother's Day card for his mother and one for me and also a small gift for our grandbaby. The total cost was $14.00. I suggested he not sign my card and just return it to the store but he had purchased it from a store that was going out of business and so could not return it. I can't be mad a him as his is such a sweetheart and is very thoughtful. We did not go our for our Friday night date so I guess it all worked out ok. Today was a little different, I had to pick up a prescription for some medication and while we were out we stopped by a McDonalds - overpriced food and certainly not worth the $8.00 spent but working on doing better. I did think about what I had spent and McDonalds and that is something I normally do not do. Oh well, we will eat home tonight. I did call our daughter today and ask that she come and cut our hair. She is a social worker now but has a cosmtology license so if she makes it out to cut our hail that is a savings of almost $30.00. I don't have the money to put in my savings jar now but at least I am not going any further in debt. I will give her some clothing that no longer fits me for her time.
