In previous posts I mentioned how the money that I make from the JBF sale goes toward different trips. Last summer it went to help pay for Family Camp with our church at The Great Wolf Lodge. In December, it went toward our trip to Disney World.
What is next?!
The earnings for the Spring JBF sale will be going toward our NYC Mission Trip this summer! We are so excited about this trip!
How do you get started with JBF?
It is so easy, I promise! Go HERE to get started. They explain how to do everything in detail. Plus, they even offer "How To" clinics if you need a little extra instruction. Pretty awesome!
Why wait? Get started today!
Happy Wednesday~

~Cheap Meal Idea!~
It's the end of the month and you find yourself out of money and your pantry is looking bare. What to do???
Cook some beans in the slow cooker! It might possibly be the cheapest meal you can make for a family. Plus, it is hearty, tasty and full of fiber. Cornbread is very inexpensive to make also!
Beans in the slow cooker have made their way into my rotation on our long days. It is so nice to come home and have dinner ready and waiting for us.
Did I mention cheap??? You can buy a bag of beans for around .80 cents (regular price).
Guess what is on my menu for tomorrow night? Beans!
Happy Monday!

~How We Saved For Disney World!~
Today I'm finishing up the Disney World series! Many of you have asked exactly how I saved that chunk of money in just a few months. Here are a few ways that we got creative:
*JBF Sales-I am a faithful JBF consignor. In attempt to maximize my earnings, I consigned at the JBF Dallas (dallas.jbfsale.com/) and JBF Plano (plano.jbfsale.com/) in the fall. I recommend not only consigning your items, but also shopping the JBF sales. They have some pretty AMAZING deals!
*Ebay-sold several hundred dollars worth of clothing & shoes on Ebay!
*Cashback Bonus-we applied the Cashback Bonus from our Discover Card to the fund! I do not advise you to go out and start using a credit card. As I've explained here before, we have NEVER not paid it off at the end of the month. We are the very tiny percentage of people who actually do that.
*Family Members-we told family members our plan and asked if they would want to contribute $$ rather than only giving gifts for Christmas. My daughter had a birthday and put that money into the fund also.
*Garage Sales-we hosted 1 garage sale and then hauled our stuff to another neighborhood garage sale. Typically, I make at least $100 at every garage sale.
*Consignment Store-Sold clothing & shoes to a consignment store that pays you up front.
*Bank-we had an old bank account with a few hundred in it and we closed it out and applied it to the fund.
*Sold things-if you are crafty, get creative! I make several things and sell them for extra money.
*Returns-anytime I saw anything around the house that needed to be returned, I put that money into the fund.
*Extra money-anytime we would find extra cash or have an extra few dollars, it went into the fund!
*No Dining Out! We cut our $100 monthly dining out budget down to about $10 during these months of savings. That money was applied to the fund!
*Lived on less-I ONLY bought what we needed and what was on my list during that time. It was very important that I didn't go over my grocery budget at all during those months!
*Used stock-Instead of worrying about getting the next great deal, I focused on using the stock we had on hand. Staying away from the Drug Store deals saved me money. Even though there were good deals, I didn't need to go and spend money each week. I made sure that I only went for FREE or items that would make me a profit.
*Write it down-I mention this all the time on this blog about writing everything down. Every dollar we saved was written down on a sheet that was posted on the pantry door. We looked at it everyday. It was a great experience to share with our 5 year old. She loved saving money and going to Disney World (of course)!
I encourage you to dream big! My husband and I want experiences, more than we want "things". Set goals, put them on paper and work together towards them. Get creative and watch it pay off!
Hope you all have enjoyed this series!

~Happy Valentine's Day!~
Hello Sassy Savers!
I have not forgotten about you all. Promise :0)
Life has been so busy that I haven't had a chance to stop in about 5 days. My husband and I went to a marriage conference this weekend featuring Jimmy & Karen Evans. Wow! By far the best marriage information that I've ever heard. Wonderful teachings and funny at the same time. We had a blast!
Along with that were other church obligations and planning out a summer mission trip, there just hasn't been an abundance of time in my days. I'm sure you all can relate. When did life start flying by???
Okay, my point here is that no matter how busy you are, make time for your spouse. Make it a priority to take time out of your busy schedules just for the 2 of you. Your marriage will be blessed for it!
Happy Valentine's Day! Don't forget to make your Honey feel special today ;)
