This week has been a rough one on the finacial home front, well actually it started 2 weeks ago. Dh lost his second job due to downsizing. Then on Wednesday of this week his full time job cut hours from 54 to 43. All together we have lost more than a $1000 a month! This is a scary thing to face. Being the OCD budgeter (is that a word?) that I am, I have the budget done til early January and we will be ok.. by the skin of our teeth. Dh is a working machine and is looking for another part-time job. I have faith he will find one.
I am so thankful to have my newfound frugal skills! Before this we would have been in trouble!

I'm sorry you guys have taken such a financial hit but you are doing AWESOME with your frugality
Thanks!
At least he has a job. My husband and I moved to Orlando 2 months ago and he still doesn't have a job.
Yikes! I am sorry. He has had the same job for 10 years. Thank God. Good Luck!
Just married and moved to GA and I'm learning to really LOVE Publix! :)
Was able to get some of the same great deals myself!

This blog has helped me save a ton at publix. You are already doing amazing saving. I just said a prayer for your husband to find a job.
