I need a place to motivate me. A place where I can hold myself acountable for money, and the act of SAVING money. Lately, it seems to slip through my fingers. Not big purchases, as much as $5 here, $5 there. My coupons are in a pile. My coupon book is full of expired coupons. I am spending WAY too much on my weekly grocery trips. My life gets busy, and I fall off the saving/frugal wagon. I don't check my bank account like I should. I have not been writing down what I spend. I am not sure where I lost my way, but I did!

So, Hello!

My name is Jennifer. I need frugal friends to help me on my journey.

Welcome back, Jennifer!

The most motivating thing I do here on this site is to join in the challenges. There is pretty much one for every thing you think you need to improve on!

Hi Jennifer welcome back from NJ

Thanks!
I have been really down, and board the last few days. (it has been raining here since last Friday) I think getting a grip on finances, instead of trying to spend my way out of a funk, will be a big help!

I am looking forward to getting to know ya'll!!

Welcome back! You will find lots of great information and inspiration! The challenges are amazing. They really help you keep focused! I started out slow with maybe one or two things I wanted to work on. For me, it's difficult to concentrate on too many things at once. Good luck!

So, today I will save money in the following ways...

1) No Starbucks this afternoon
saved $5

2) Hubby is away this evening. My plan was to pick up take out-we are having leftovers instead
saved $15
