Budget Review and Garage Sales!! 120 Days

Wow, I can hardly believe it is Friday already! Where did the week go?


Today is the day for the weekly budget review! I spent $79.06 this week on wedding things:


Card Stock $15.08
Seal Stamper $3.15
Wax $3.15
Girdle $30.50
Main Unity Candle $3.15
Unity Tapers $0.63
Floral Wire $3.15
Glassware (vases, etc) $16.25
Earrings $4.00
Total Week 2: $79.06


So, the 3 largest purchases this week were undergarments for me, invitation supplies, and glassware.

The other fun thing I have to share from today is garage saleing! I set out at 9:30 this morning with my mom and brothers and sisters. I found some awesome stuff for our new apartment, and some more vintage jewelry for flowers.


I found this awesome dish set at the first sale we visited. It was 9 plates and 8 settings of everything else for $20. I didn't buy it...but it is nearly identical to what Dustin and I registered for, only it's green over red. But saving $100 I would say is worth it. I'm going to go back today and see if it is still there. After all...I do like green!


One of the next sales we visited had this really awesome wall clock for $5. It looks like it was never opened, and I was able to purchase it for only $3!







All of those earrings only cost $4! I really am excited to put them into some flowers :)

Tomorrow I'll be back with possibly more awesome money-saving finds!

  1. Wow. You could have saved half what you spent this week if you low carbed instead of needed a corset (I mean girdle).
