I am oficially starting my $20.00 challenge. My family and I want to visit my dad for the Christmas holidays, so all monies saved will go to that trip. I saved $1.00 today by having Wal-Mart price match Kroger on milk.

bal 20.00
add 1.00
now 21.00 every little bit helps.

I have some homemade jalaneno poppers in the oven right now. I've made them several times before and they are awesome. I got the recipe from Taste of Home. Most of their recipes are really good. But stupid me didn't wear gloves and am now paying the price.

I plan to make mocha chocolate chip banana muffins tomorrow. The bananas are at the right stage of ripening. Did you know bananas are considered ripe when they are brown??? That's what I read anyway.

We had to get a new battery for DH's truck today. It' really a relief because I was thinking it was the alternator.

I cashed in some of my Chase points yesterday (pay cc bill in full every mo.) to get 2 AE gift cards. I will wait to spend them til there is a good sale.
