Well, after reading many blogs from fellow members of Simple Savings, I have decided that I will start my own blog. What a fantastic way to chart our progress into living a more happy and simple life, with less stress and more cash!! At least thats the plan anyway!
I've been so inspired by the hints and tips from people on the forum, and have come to realise that I really was spending way to much on food... looking in the cupboards and thinking there was nothing to eat when really the contents could have fed a small country! Even more so how much I was wasting! Not anymore!
I have decided its time to take control of these reins and make a more concerted effort to keep track of spending and learn to Waste Not , Want Not (as in the words of wisdom of the wonderful Lauren!).
The thing which has surprised me is that its not a hard thing to do once you get started. Its simply a case of being more mindful about what you spend your money on. Thinking about it more than once before you hand over those precious dollars... do I really need this? Could I find it cheaper elsewhere or perhaps make it myself?
Anyway, this is the start of our journey. Here's hoping it won't be a bumpy ride!
