Any frugal new year's resolutions?

A new fresh year. *LOL* I started a Christmas acct for next year. I am planning on starting a new change jar at home too. *LOL* Hubby tends to give exact change when he spends money. *sigh* My mindset is a dime a day. *LMAO* I know it sounds silly, but the way he spends all his extra change, some days getting that dime may be tough. hehe So, whenever there's more than a dime, I can do a happy dance.

Anyone care to join me in the change jar junkies group?

I guess those would be my two "resolutions" to focus on. I keep it small, so I can stay focused and achieve.

I suppose if anything my change jar will be worth a chuckle or two.

I have a couple of things I would like to work on in 2002. First, we need to eat out less often. We love to eat out. We use coupons most of the time and we don't eat at really expensive places but, still need to cook more at home. Second, I need to get things more organized around the house. I often have to rebuy items because I simply can not find them! I have a change jar but, I don't do as well as I should collecting change for it. I will try harder in that area in 2002 also. My online friends here really help me keep a frugal head on my shoulders. Thanks everyone!

Well i am going to file my coupons in my box on Sundays or Mondays like I used to not leave them all in tact in a bag and clip and file when I think I'll use them.I need to do better with that.I am going to shop my ads weekly agin.It will be MUCH easier if I keep my darn ol' box in order. I lightened my class load so hopefully I can succeed
