The saving challenge!

As some of you may know, in the last month I've totally and  willingly took a huge pay cut.(not that I was making extreme amounts of living money) but I took the challenge to be a stay at home mom and "babysit". I'm currently in the process of getting my day care license, at my home. The process is long and beyond tough. New York state (thankfully) is very strict when it comes to daycare regulations. I've heard about a dozen complaints about it, but honestly.....stop! It's a dang good thing! What? Do you want you kid under anyone's roof!?...that's what I thought. Anyways, before I can get my license I can only babysit ( pinch cheeks) 2 kids/babies, so I'm reaaaalllyyy making hardly nothing... This week I was able to pay our $35 national fuel bill thought! It will continue to be this way until my house gets inspected, I get finger printed, I take a couple classes,exc. SO I've been thinking of ways to SAVE, SAVE, SAVE!!
1- making my grocery list based on weekly coupons-thank God for Sunday's!
 2-shopping at ALDI!
3- what my next full years blog will be about........living off the Duggars Moto "buy used and save the difference" I am challenging myself (as I work my second job at Victoria's Secret) to not buy clothes from any store BESIDES consignment, for a FULL year, 356 days!!! I'll be posting my buys with some awesome fashionable pictures of my consignment outfits for the next year!...even SOPHIA'S!... And don't doubt me! I WILL be saving the difference!! Also, at the end of the year I will add up how much I saved doing this in hopes to encourage this challenge to someone else! This world is way too materialistic, and I'm going to prove you can be fashionable, you can have nice things, you can have a good wardrobe without wasting all your money and I'm going to have fun doing it! 
I'll be posting my first buy...shortly!

Drum roll until then
