Car paid off!

I am so happy, we have officially gotten my 2004 Subaru Forrester paid off! The goal was to have it paid off within a year, and since we bought it on Jun 21 last year, we just made it! We are still working on rebuilding our credit so we had a pretty high interest rate, even with a cosigner, but hopefully this will help our score a little. We paid just over $7000 (I knew what I wanted and waited until I found an expectional deal on craigslist, had it checked by a mechanic obvisouly, then offered a little less than asking as I always do). We were able to pay it off by putting all those little unexpected extras towards it (like when you get a rebate from something or find an extra $100 in your budget, etc.) Every little bit counts. We also put some of our income return towards it (not all because we had other bills to pay off and needed to inflate our savings a little). This is a happy day! Next is the house (our last house payment will be in october as we are putting everything extra richard is making being deployed towards that) then all we have left are those pesky student loans!

Butte Dollar Tree

I wanted to do a little thing on the dollar tree here in butte, (it's between quality supply and walmart if you've never been). There are alot of things that you can get here WAY cheaper than anywhere else. Here are just a few things I regularly get there rather than elsewhere:

-cold lunch fillers (my favorite is the 6 pack of peanuts since my son loves them)
- makeup (yes this may sound strange but they get shipments of name brand items all the time, they may have your favorite. I've seen sally hansen, covergirl, e.l.f., etc)
- toothpaste, packs of floss picks, and toothbrushes (they have a pack of 6 for $1)
-kitchen utensils, sandwich bags, etc.
-pet products (they have leashes, toys, dog bowls, and I've actually found that their urine remover spray works better than the $20 bottle at petsmart)
-paint brushes, sandpaper, tools
-toys (my kids will break it no matter how expensive it was so I figure $1 is better than $20. And I like that I can send my 7 yr old to pick anything off the shelf and not have to say no because of price)
-birthday party and wedding supplies
-over the counter medicines (they have children's benadryl and almost any supplement you can think of)

They get new shipments every week, so if you ever get a chance, you should take a walk through. You'd be very suprised what you can find for $1!

They are usually at least 50% off. It's called mamapedia and you can sign up to have their daily deal (there's a different one everyday) emailed to you. check it out here:

Today's shopping trip

Today's shopping trip consisted of Albertson's and CVS. I spent $10.36 and saved $47.49. They key here is to purchase as many as you can when items are very cheap (especially if you have coupons to combine the sale with). That way, when you need something you have it on hand rather than having to run out and pay full price. It really doesn't take long to get a good size stockpile going!

Craigslist Find

This is the set of Fridgidaire HE front loading washer and dryer that I found on Butte's craigslist last week. I paid $500 for the set (with pedastals) that are about a year old. They are in great shape and work awesome. I've known for a while now that we would be needing a new set soon as our old ones were starting to act up. I knew we wanted the front loaders so I've been watching craigslist and finally found my set! They were listed for $800 but I offered $500 (never hurts to ask!) I also got the added benefits of being able to donate our old set to somebody who really needed them, and putting money back into our local economy by shopping in butte (not to mention saving gas having to drive somewhere!) The butte craigslist doesn't always have very many new postings, but it will get there!
