    Default We 'found' almost $600.00!!

    Okay, all you frugal friends...recall reading anywhere about how much people could save if they gave up their 'daily latte' ???
    Well, we did the math on this for ourselves but giving up soda pop instead~
    Almost $600.00 saved SO FAR this year....
    DH says (LOL) 'Now you can use that extra (we've been putting it in a jar everytime we grocery shop and don't buy it!) for your 'STOCK PILE'
    By George, I think he finally got it!!
    OH, HAPPY DAY!!!

    Congrats on your DH's frugal awakening!!!

    I know how hard it is to resist... I bleed coffee! Yesterday I was in the car, passing coffee shop after coffee shop and praised myself for not pulling in to them... and then, a commercial for .99 lattes at Dunkins came on!!!
    I can't be out of money... I still have checks left!
