Like Merchant Ships

According to my excel spread sheet, so far this year I have spent $1,157.14 on groceries. I have saved exactly $807.12 using coupons. That averages out to only spending $128.57 a week. That's not too bad for a family of six Monday through Thursday and eight plus Friday through Sunday. I am off to Price Chopper tomorrow to save and stockpile. I suppose that is the modern day definition of Proverbs 31:14. It is also a frugal homemakers definition of fun!

Let it snow...and turn cold please

I suppose most people are enjoying this warm weather. Around here, we are sad about it. Our rink is a melty, slushy mess. My absolutely wonderful father has been grooming about three miles of lovely trails through the woods for me this winter. I have enjoyed walking, skiing and snowshoeing on them more than I can say. Seriously, who can say that they have groomed trails to play on in the winter. Sadly, they are slushy now. Although I could still walk them, snowshoeing is not an option right now. Also, I have a little boy who loves to go with me on his cross country skis. So, while everyone else enjoys the spring like temperatures, we are very sad at our house.
