~Trimming the FAT~

Nothing gets pass our kids! So recently we have decided that we are ready to steal a home, since the market has HUGE homes for a fraction of the cost. So lately we have been not going out as much for dinner (eating at home) we cancelled our Blockbuster Online Membership, Our kids have hit Auto-Debit for months on Club Penguin so we put a stop to that and cancelled after their next run! We are spending less, utilizing coupons at the grcoery store (did you all see the FRYS deals right now) religously trying to do the laundry from 9 to 9, and there is much more we are doing to cut costs. So we have really strayed away from drinking Pepsi, Mtn Dew.....Any Pop period.... However the other day we were craving a cup of java from STARBUCKS....Well the second we started to talk about it our kids cut us off at the pass and were like " we can't afford Starbucks we are saving remember" Awwww we remember. I miss the days when things went over there heads and they did not undersand the full extent of things we were deciding to do..LOL :)
