DH is in the Navy, so he has the standard buzzed head. I often cut his hair myself, but every once in a while he'll get it cut by a professional. Well I cut it last night and I said something like, "well we saved $5." Well apparently I was wrong and it costs $8 to get it on base and about $10 in-town!! Holy cow, apparently I should be cutting boys' hair! So I'm adding that $8 to the challenge and never letting someone else cut it again!
We went grocery shopping today and had about $40 left in our budget. Using coupons we saved $3.10 and only spent about $30!
New additions: $11.10
Previous total: $167
Total, since 4/15: $ 178.10
I was feeling a little intimidated at first, but in less than 2 weeks I've managed to save $178!! Amazing.
I'm also excited because DH and I finally looked into Roth IRA's. We're planning on opening them AND maxing out our 2007 contributions next month!! More on this to come.
Just an update
