The Simple Life

I am on a mission to recreate a simple life for us, part of my mission today was to clean out our master closet. I found three bags full of clothes, shoes, and other treasures to give away. I am amazed at how fast we accumulate our "treasures". It is even more depressing to think about the money wasted on those "treasures" and the hours it has cost me in cleaning them, moving them, and being angry at them.

Our local store is having a special coupon deal right now and instead of rushing over there and buying all the good deals I looked at what we really needed. I won't be giving up my stockpile but I will become more picky about what I'm putting in it. I think for now I'll be concentrating on the free items and meat and letting the rest of the deals roll by.

We are wrapping up our eating out fast and we haven't really missed it. I missed having nights off but I've really enjoyed watching our savings grow. Right now we are on a spending freeze for April, I'm hoping this will bring my need to spend back under control.
