We Did It!

Remember in one of my last post I mentioned that we were not going to go out to eat for the whole month of Jan? Well We stuck to our guns and did it. Some nights were super had and I was so tired of cooking all I wanted to do was order a pizza. But we made it through. YAY US! to celebrate we had planned to go out to eat. Carsyn wanted McDonalds (yuck) well I told him then we would have to wait until Tuesday to go there (1/2 price happy meals) He agreed so Chad and I planned to have a babysitter and go to Texas Roadhouse YUM! well that fell through so We took the kids to Primos The kids had a blast and now we don't have to go to McDonalds =0)It's so helpful when the whole Family pulls together to pull off such a goal. Chad helped do a lot of the cooking on his days off and thank goodness for freezer meals. Our goal for Feb isn't nearly as strict. We will still go out but it's all scheduled and planned I even have a Feb Menu all ready to go. We're really trying to cut back on some things and save up for bigger things it's hard work but it really can be an eye opener to see how much money is actually spent on eating out.
