You can just login on Fridays before you go shopping and check for the free download coupon for the week. Then it's just like the rest of the Kroger digital coupons you already have loaded on your card.

The grocery list and the general idea of keeping track is a great way to see where the money goes!

It basically pays you back for things you've bought. (E.g. If you buy your lucky charms, and they have it on their list of rebates for that week, you add it to your list, take a pic of the receipt/scan the barcode, and they will give you a rebate for itTarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07480993339717311134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-70828202450950743342017-09-02T08:46:18.496-04:002017-09-02T08:46:18.496-04:00You'll have to update me and let me know how i...You'll have to update me and let me know how it goes! I couldn't believe how much money we saved. I always felt like we just didn't have any extra money to set aside (or to pay down debt), but it turned out that we have quite a bit. It feels so great to finally be ahead in our finances! I hope it goes well for you :)Katie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733849582309631730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-74678701689093159962017-09-02T08:45:05.467-04:002017-09-02T08:45:05.467-04:00I love bullet journals!

WOW. But I think it's great you're doing the bare bones--maybe if I did it that way, I'd be more likely to keep up! ;)Katie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733849582309631730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-69626626196850419982017-09-02T08:31:58.469-04:002017-09-02T08:31:58.469-04:00I've started doing your budget idea but my dat...I've started doing your budget idea but my date is the 25th of each month. I know there's a grace period, but I like to pay my mortgage by the first each month. I just started on 8/25 so am excited to see where my bank account is on 9/25. Thanks for sharing!

I had no idea it was only $5--I guess I assumed it would be about $20. I can see how that would be very convenient for someone who works full time! My shopping trip this morning took up the whole morning--between driving to the store, shopping, checking out, loading the car, and then unloading the car and putting everything away.

We would usually rely on my check to cover anything that we weren't able to pay throughout the month. Now, instead of budgeting weekly, it's for the entire month. Much easier!Katie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733849582309631730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-10559966827075841292017-09-01T20:29:57.764-04:002017-09-01T20:29:57.764-04:00Awhile back I thought you mentioned that you took ...Awhile back I thought you mentioned that you took a position with that From Fat to Finish Line group.Is that income just lumped into Jerry's pay for the nearest Friday after you are paid?Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328636861375741176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-63831199891175351492017-09-01T19:03:18.365-04:002017-09-01T19:03:18.365-04:00Love your method of budgeting!

Where I work full time it's hard to sit and plan and then go to the grocery store. So I sit with my cookbooks and meal plan and look at the sales and the coupons I have.
