Dear Heavens I would HATE to see my wants vs needs list. I stop at Sonic every morning M-F for my Rt 44 Diet Coke. I know it adds up, but can I classify it as a "need, so I dont beat people up at work?"

Hang in there...what a blessing you must be to your Dad!! :)<br /><br />If the batteries don't last as well as you want them to, another option is rechargeables. We have did it that way for years for our camera that required AA's...just have an extra set and charge them all at once and keep the *extras* on hand in your camera case. It worked well. And there is significant savings. <br /><br />And WHO can resist a good chocolate bar?? Now you know the way to your friend's heart. ;-)<br /><br />Blessings to you!<br />CamilleCamillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07838089502798643241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229227706114386148.post-72955712768555865422012-02-11T06:52:16.021-08:002012-02-11T06:52:16.021-08:00Be careful with buying rotisseri chickens - they p...Be careful with buying rotisseri chickens - they pump them with flavorings that include a large amount of unwanted sodium.

Lithium batteries are great for cameras. Glad you were able to get a good price on a pkg of them. You might also watch sales for a recharger and their batteries, Duracell or Energizer. They are a bit expensive in the beginning but are cheaper in the long run to use esp. for cameras. Keeping an extra set with you is a good thing!

Tracking really helps doesn'...Hello Heather :)<br /><br />Tracking really helps doesn't it? You can see exactly where your money goes and what are needs versus wants. Do you and your father have a freezer in addition to the one with the fridge? If you do, you may want to check around for buying beef from a rancher or butcher. It is expensive up front but we save up to purchase half a cow each year (the beef lasts us over a year, there are only 2 of us and we do give alot away to friends and those in need) anyway the price per pound here across the board whether it be ground or prime rib is $2.50 a pound. You cannot beat the taste and knowing where the beef came from and how it was raised. Just food for thought (Ha! no pun intended :))<br /><br />Have a blessed weekend!<br />SharonSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737384601584423130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229227706114386148.post-58469137912091662832012-02-10T14:28:46.239-08:002012-02-10T14:28:46.239-08:00I spent way too much the last 2 weeks...and found ...I spent way too much the last 2 weeks...and found some food in my refrigerator that had expired so had to be thrown out:(<br />Have you thought about rechargable batteries for your camera? You might do some research on them and run the numbers to see if that would, in the long run, save you money. <br />Blessings from the now rainy PNW< <br />Aimeeaimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255823818961459112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229227706114386148.post-77672445456893355532012-02-10T14:10:09.084-08:002012-02-10T14:10:09.084-08:00I'm really impressed with your numbers...espec...I'm really impressed with your numbers...especially on an organic diet and within the Californian economy!
