Thank goodness it's the weekend!

It's been a long week and I'm ready for the weekend! But I'm excited to take Grandma Eva's name to the temple tomorrow for an endowment session! That will be glorious! And I'm hoping to spend the day re-organizing my office. It's just not functional the way it is. So that will be fun!

So what did I do to save money these last few days? To be honest it's more what I didn't do. I didn't use my dryer at all. I didn't go out to dinner. Instead of buying treats for Book Club I made cookies. I didn't buy any extra groceries this week other than salad. Instead of buying fresh fruit from Costco we're eating our canned peaches and other fruits. Boy do I love our peaches! So I guess I haven't actively done anything new in the last few days but there's always tomorrow! 

So when you're making choices with your hard earned money, stop and think about:
  1. Is it made from quality materials?
  2. Will it last 10+ years (5 for clothing)?
  3. Is it made in the US?
  4. Is it something I have a specific use for?
  5. Can we make it instead?
  6. Do we have something else we could use?
  7. Who are we supporting if we buy it?
  8. How long will I have to work to pay for this?

Have a great and financially stable week!
