I have a 401K.

I keep an eye on sales and try to get stuff that's a better deal.

We buy real food to make meals out of and try to limit the junk that's so easy to pick up on the road. That stuff adds up really quick!

Some of my furniture is a bit worse for wear and we're fixing it up instead of purchasing new.
We needed to replace our theatre seating and spent an entire weekend sitting in every chair we thought we might like! As always the ones we liked we could not justify the cost! One Sunday we were shopping at Big Lots and found a love seat on sale with an additional rewards member discount and walked out with a new leather loves seat for $253.00 bucks! We love it, it fits our needs and saved us big bucks! Red and I have learned not to buy on emotion and that has saved us a lot of money!
