The frugal thing I did this weekend was order water every time we went out to eat. We met Ben's family out at the plaza to eat at a rather nice restaurant. We shared a meal and appetizer and I ordered water. Also, last night when we went out for Chinese I ordered water and also when we had some Chipotle today I ordered water. Overall I think I saved almost $6.00. That doesn't seem like much, but if I did this each weekend instead of ordering soft drinks that would be about $24 a month and $288 a year. I think it's worth it :)
Scrapbooking Saturday... Ok, so I didn't actually make this this weekend, but it is my most recent page. I don't feel like it is completely done, but I am not sure what else to add. If you have any ideas, please let me know :)
This is one of the most "plain" layouts I have ever made, but I love it. Since I don't have kiddos I scrapbook my doggie often. :)Other random stuff... I am starting my 101 goals in 1,001 days. I am beginning it tomorrow. I have made up my list and I would like to share it with you. I know it is a lot of stuff to read through, so I understand if you don't want to. I will try to update you with what I am working on each week. I am not sure what I am going to start on this week, but I will let you know as soon as I figure that out :)
