The weekend on a budget

I like to go to garage sales, it is a hobby of mine, but this time I went with just $30 in my pocket and I promised not to go over. I just bought what I thought I could use, I got some clothes for my children, I bought a monkey from Aladdin, still in the box, I bought a few toys for my daycare and I got my mom some movies and books for her daycare and I got her a weed eater and I spent $32 I went two dollars over but that is not bad at all. I am proud of myself. everything was on a budget. we took the kids to the local theme park and got the special season pass for everybody. I already had mine and everyone else had theirs so I just bought my kids theirs. So now even when we are broke we will still have something to do. I bring my own food and drinks for everyone in a back pack, and with the kids being on a special diet we would have to anyway, but it saves us a ton of money. I bring bottles of tea and Capri suns and two kinds of chips and the older kids bring their own in their bag, the park charges $2 for a small bag of chips, I can get a great big bag for $3 at the store. I am still broke and money is still tight, but I am going to make it through to the end. I have my eye on the big house in the country. today I am going to try not to spend any money at all. I will report tonight.
