Super Saving Saturday

It is my favorite time of the week. Especially now that I am officially out of my frugal slump.

You guessed it. It's Super Saving Saturday! (Okay maybe the post title gave it away?) This was an awesome week for me. It definately helped me to get excited about saving money again. Now it is fun again. I think once it stops being fun, it becomes a burden. And I do not need a burden from something that should be a relief.

Anyways on to the saving fun.

I had a $50 budget and I was determined to stick to it. So let's see what I was able to do with $50.
