Benefits of a budget and Money Moons aligning

January 20th, 2013 at 03:56 pm


The budget is pretty much fixed and accurate these days. I was able to defray the spending for groceries by using $75 in gift cards from three Rxs new to Jewel. (I've been average $110 a week for everything, with the last two only being $95).

8th Grade Daughter has quite a few functions coming up: Father Daughter Dance, Valentines Day Dance, Confirmation, May Crowning and Graduation. She is a sweet girl who said she'd be happy to wear her sister's hand-me-downs for some events, but wanted two new dresses (Father Daughter Dance and Graduation). We were shopping at delias yesterday looking to see if the dress she wanted was finally on sale and I had a $10 off of $30 purchase. It was on sale, and because she is so small there were tons of size 0s on clearance. She bought a beautiful black and sparkly dress for the Father Daughter Dance, a periwinkle colored dress with scalloped skirt for the school Dance, and a beautiful pink/gray lace dress for graduation. Here is the best part: after the reductions and the coupon, I paid $59.50! I about did the dance of joy right there. Had the money in the checking account (no plastic no more).

And it gets even better that older daughter wants to wear one for the turnabout dance. Smile

    Good deal! Do you resell the dresses once they outgrow them?

    So far we've passed everything down to a family that has three girls.

    Very nice of you to help another family. Do you get clothes from other families with older girls, too?

    Wow, that was a good find. She sounds like a great kid, and that terrific attitude would lead me to be willing to buy her a couple of new dresses as well. And all the better if you have some insurance that the siblings want to wear them, as well! Smile Jerry
