I am so proud of myself! Philip and I have really been working on sticking to our budget to kick out the rest of our debt. I've been trying to pinch pennies, but still buy the things we need.

We've been wanting a digital video camera for a long time. I don't want Cooper's life to fly by without capturing it on video! We found a certain camera we like. We shopped around different stores Saturday, trying to find the best deal. We tried to get places to price match, Philip bargained, tried talking them down.. etc. Well, no luck. The lowest we could get the price was $127 and that was for the DISPLAY. No thanks. We left after an afternoon of shopping with nothing. Which took a LOT of discipline to not go ahead and buy it. Today I found the exact camera on eBay bundled with a tripod. I bid on it and won for $87! Whoo-hoo! The waiting paid off. I was really proud of us.

Also, I've been looking for a halloween costume for Cooper. There is one particular one I want... but it's $50 + shipping EVERYWHERE... even eBay. I found one today on diapers.com $49 and free shipping. Not a super deal. Well, they also had a 30 oz can of Cooper's formula for $19.99 (regular $29.99). If you bought formula or diapers you could use this 10% off coupon code for your whole purchase. :-D Then I got coupon happy and started searching the interent for online coupon codes. I ended up finding some and getting $80 worth of stuff for $60 annnd FREE SHIPPING.

Today Philip, Cooper and I went to Target. As we were checking out, I pulled out my FPU envelope system to pay. The cashier noticed and said, "Dave Ramsey huh?" I said, "Yeah we're working his plan, doing the best we can." She was quiet for a moment then said... "So I guess I won't ask you if you want to sign up for a Target credit card then." Bahahaha!
