Making a great deposit

January 3rd, 2008 at 04:27 pm

I am happily going off to the bank today to deposit a large lump into my savings account/emergency fund. I was able to hold onto my December check from my ex and not do anything with it. Now I am going to safely tuck that away! I just have to be a little more frugal for January and I should be fine. Fingers crossed. I also am depositing my tv rebate check, the money my son owed me and part of my work bonuses. I just want to save, save, SAVE!!!!!!! Every little bit helps and adds up as we all know.

I got the WALGREENS sale flyer....I am resisting purchasing anything! I am fine on most supplies. I am heading to the grocery today. I will be sticking to my list...and eating out of the freezer and pantry as much as possible the rest of the week. I get paid on Friday, so I will be back at the bank tomorrow.

I have to throw newspapers today and it is very very COLD out there. I really do not like having to deliver the newspapers in the winter, but it seems worth it when I get a check each month for not much work on my part.

I have my thermostat set on 66. I am resisting the urge to turn it up. Staying warm by moving about and layering up.

    Like you, I'm trying to use what I have in the refrig/freezer. So far, I made one deposit and bought only one necessary birthday card for my son. I received something from my grocer with a $5. off after spending $40. Sometimes it just isn't worth spending the $40. to save $5 unless you are really need to spend the amount. I find my best savings come from not going to the grocery stores rarely. That saves me more than $5. I'd like to see how many NO SPEND DAYS I can have this month.

    WOW sounds so encouraging!!! Great post. I agree i am just not a stockpilier by nature....I know some frugal people are. I would rather stay home and not spend and maybe use it up first. I avoid any store as much as possible..it really helps me save,
