Money in, Money out and some new goals

November 17th, 2008 at 02:24 am

Well it was a decent weekend. I presold some of my fish room so as soon as fish are gone guy will ceom get the tanks and equipment $320 up front. woohoo. I will come out ahead once all is sold.

For the spending this weekend we went to the mall in the next town and planned on eating at the chinese place there but it was closed fro remodeling. errr. SO we at at the Old Country Buffet. Food was great cost more than I had planned $16 for the wife and I, chinese is usually only $9 as we split a meal. The only other options were taco bell or arbys which I really don't like either. Our old neighbor called to get together kinda last minute as we were both free and we haven't seen her son in a few months and he wanted us to come over. $28 for pizza, soda, local paper but she paid me $13 for her and her 2 year olds son share. Took the cash and got quaters to do laundry and just got back from that.

Stopped at Walmart for groceries this morning as we were needing some of the paper goods and found my lunch meat $0.32 cheaper a package only $0.56 instead of $0.88 as compared to Hy-Vee, looks like I will be shopping there more. On;y got 1 thing that wasn't on my list. Total spent $154 and saved a few bucks with coupons. This will be breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next week and also stocked up on paper goods.

Got around to setting some goals now to figure out my sidebar so I can list them.

Saving Accounts ING and Emigrant Direct. How do I add sub folders for savings in ING I forgot how?

Here is what I am settign for sub accounts once I figure out how:

Coupons
Kayak- something I would love to have
Vacation 2009
Vacation 2010
Car Insurance
Renters Insurance
Wifes Massage Workshops

Emigrant will be for my Emergency Fund goal is $10000 hopefully by the begining of 2010.

Local Savings goal $1000 ($950 to go)
Checking acount $500 minimum ($400 to go)
Cash on Hand for emergencies $1000 ($1000 to go) cause ifhte powers out all the cash electronically won't do me any good.

Atleast it is a start.

Wow this is kind of long winded if you made it this far thanks for reading.

    Go to your control panel and choose 'settings'. Then you should see an area that says 'author info(sidebar)'. Just type it all in and update.

    Is $150 a normal grocery bill for you? It seems high for just two adults. I will admit paper goods can add up though.

    That $150 consisted of:

    Charmin $7
    Bounty $9 with coupon
    2qt Crock Pot $11 versus the 8 qt I have. 2 qt is perfect for the 2 of us for a small meal as I have done now.
    Bike Hooks $6
    Canoe Hooks $8
    2 water bottles $12 instead of buying bottled water
    Small Kitchen Scale for serving sizes $5
    And a stock pile of food for the week adn then some probably closer to 10 days.

    Great job! You definitely bought more than food. Looks like about $58 in extras. Smile

    Great job. Have you thought about just picking up some nice cloth towels at the dollar store and givin up on paper towels?

    Did you mean you needed help with sub accounts at ING? If so, when you log in you should see a link that says "Open another account". I see this link at the bottom of the main page, under all my current accounts. You would then just open another Orange Savings account for each category you are trying to set up. It will allow you to name them whatever you want.

    Koppur- Actually I only buy them every 3 months or so as I use regular towels mostly.

    dmontngrey- I figured it out last night after searching google.
