So there’s only three more weeks left in the 13 Weeks of Summer. 3 weeks. 3 weeks. 3 weeks. It is the dog days of summer and the longest possible three weeks that could exist.

132 Dollar Vacation
So we did it. We managed to go on vacation and stay in budget. Here’s the breakdown and a gallery of pictures from our trip. Last night I spent a bazillion years typing all this witty narrative to go with the pictures and then it vanished into thin air, so forget it. As…Continue reading 132 Dollar Vacation
Rules for Hiking
We are on vacation. Pictures will follow when we are back in faster internet world. It has nothing to do with this post whatsoever, but just as an update, we have only spent$97 on this entire vacation so far. I am pretty sure that we are going to make it in budget. HOORAH! All of…Continue reading Rules for Hiking
The Greater Good
I’ve been meaning to put this post up for some time, but life has gotten in the way. Our main computer situation is still tenuous and I don’t have normal access to all the pictures I want. Did I mention how terrible it will be if we lose all our pictures? All my gazillions of…Continue reading The Greater Good
No more cushion
So this isn’t exactly an subtraction and numbers update in the sense that the Sunday night posts have been because I had to revamp the whole durn thing today.

To summarize. 1. I fell off the cash wagon this week. (Wow, how I wish there actually was something called “the cashwagon”.) It…Continue reading The Halfway Point Update and Revisions

Are you interested to learn how to get all your toiletries and household goods at the drugstore for almost NOTHING? (It’s not by going to Wal-mart either!) I’m conducting workshop on Monday, July 5th (Drugstores) from 7-9 PM in Waxhaw. (Last week, June 28th, we talked about the basics of grocery store couponing. There were…Continue reading Shopping the Low Ryder Way: Register Here
July Menu Plan
I posted a plan last month and realized that I probably should have posted a running “actual” to show the ebb and flow of our menu over time. I think I will do that for this month, so you can check back to this post any time you are curious to see what we are…Continue reading July Menu Plan
Week 4 and 5 Update
Rather than continuing to search high and low for the cord that connects the camera to the computer, I am simply going to upload a picture from last year’s beach trip since the photo is in no way connected to this post anyway. It is only to lure you in. Here’s the update from the…Continue reading Week 4 and 5 Update
