Blogging

I have a new 'chore planner' that I am using to help 'organize' my life and use my time more efficiently...and I LOVE IT! However, it means less time at my computer blogging! Ha ha. I do have 'hobby' time and 'memory book' time that is scheduled during the week, so that's when I plan to blog, only when my chore planner says I can (yeah, I know, sounds like I'll get detention or something, doesn't it?!). I'm the kinda gal that works better with schedules and routines, and this helps me so much. My house is cleaner than it has ever been before, and I actually feel like I have more free time as well. I purchased and downloaded the planner from a site called motivatedmoms.com, if anyone is interested. So, main reason for this post is to let you know to expect new posts Fri through Sun, and probably only 1 a week.
Real quick, while I'm on the topic of being a SAHM, I was wondering if anyone out there has heard of and/or used The Grocery Game. I know a couple of people that SWEAR by it and the more I hear about their savings, the more curious I get. Before I sign up, I thought I'd check here and see if I might be able to get any more 'reviews'. If you haven't heard of it and want to know what I'm talking about, check out thegrocerygame.com, it really seems pretty cool.
Anyways, hope everyone is doing well. Today I had memory book/scrapbooking time scheduled in, so I used it for this...tomorrow I've got hobby time, so I'm hoping to finally blog about Christmas!!! That'll be a doozy!

Have a great day!

I saw a thing on TV about the grocery game (or something similar), but it didn't look like something I would like. If I remember correctly you only buy certain things at certain times, when they are on sale, and go to different stores. I buy things as I need them so that wouldn't work for me. We shop at the commissary which is pretty cheap anyway.
You and your schedules! ;-) I am more of a 'fly by the seat of my pants' kind of person...I do things as the mood strikes! Lucky for me the mood to clean doesn't strike often, haha! :-D

I am glad that you like to be a planner to that extent. I have to say that would drive me nuts. I am a list maker though! I love to check things off my "to do" list! Good luck. Let me know about the grocery game-never heard of it!

Wow you seem so organized! I am a list maker too. I make a list on Sundays of things that I want to get accomplished during the week. I check them off as I go. That works for me. Some things are just expected, dishes and clothes etc. I seem to do pretty well at getting my stuff done.

I have not heard about the grocery game. I also buy things as I need them. I don't ever spend much on food so I don't really worry about prices.

Good luck with your new system!!

I don't know much about the grocery game, but my friends that have done it complained that it was all processed foods that they ended up buying that were on sale....or what weere the deals. They still spent a good amount of $ on things like milk, yogurt, fruit, veggies. I know other people that have loved it and saved a good deal of $. Let us know how it goes if you sign up!
