I have my supplies, food and list ready for the work week and a food plan. Coffee is free at my job...I just bring creamer. (3.25 f0r the week). I made oatmeal with brown sugar and a little butter for the next four days (about .30 per day)- I have lunch meat, lettuce, bread and fruit for lunch $1.75 per day) and a protien bar for snack...$.50 per bar)

Tomorrow night is the hubs last night home and he wants to go out. Then, starting Wed, I will be back to eating frugally for dinner for the next three weeks. Lots of chicken planned.

I bought three books from Kohls... Twas the Night Before Christmas. Each was $5 with a portion supporting childrens hospitals. I will make a big goodie bag for each of the kids with a blanket, new jammies, hot cocoa, etc. for Christmas Eve.

I am not sure what else is on the gift lists yet. The money is saved, but I need to get ideas from the kids...

I am glad meals are planned for the week. It sure makes sticking to the budget easier!
