Go Green & Blogger Spot Light


dinner

I was reading a little tid-bit in Fitness Magazine{which I couldn’t find online, sorry!) the other day about using cash instead of a card to pay for meals when you go out to eat, because when spending CASH verses just using your card, you tend to order less food, you skip the appetizer, drinks, dessert etc. Hubs and I have already been doing this and it’s true. You not only save money, you save on calories too.

You’ll be just fine having the cobb-salad. So why do you often add on chips & dips AND a lemonade? Because when you bring your card, you don’t FEEL the money leave your bank account. There’s something about that hard-earn green cash in your pocket that makes you protect it more, and you really do think about your food choices. I dare you, go green, try it. You’ll notice a difference in what you order when you’re paying with cash on hand. :)

And have I mentioned that I love birthday month?… I think I did before.. maybe… in case you missed last Tuesday, check it out here.

The Blogger Spot Light for this week is: My sweet friend Melissa.

Melissa and I met earlier this past March in a Financial Peace University classes Hubs & I took. I am so glad I met Melissa, she is such an awesome friend and I’ve loved getting to know her and her Husband more. And YOU should get to know her blog. Melissa is a runner. She’s training for the Women’s Nike Half-Marathon and I am SO  excited for her!

Melissa has been training all summer long, through this awful gross humid Texas heat, waking up at crazy O-clock in the morning to get her run in before the sun would shine. She seriously impresses the bananas outta me! Be sure to check out Melissa blog and send her some encouragement on her training and quickly approaching race! :) Love ya Mel!!

So tell me, who is your blogger spot-light this week?

Mostly I get emails for crafts, clothes and shoes! I love all those things, but being the newlywed that I am, I’m finding things like Coupons.com, which offers coupons for groceries and whatnots even more exciting

Yesterday I spent part of the afternoon clipping coupons from the Sundays paper. It was so much fun, I know weird huh? But knowing I could save some money on the things I buy all the time, that’s awesome! With the crazy economy saving money is such a good thing now and always. 

Are there certain ways you cut back on spending and save money? Share your tips!!
