That is so cool! Congrats on being a saver! Its so much better then being a spender! I am so thankful I am a saver and not a spender. I am not married yet and that is the part of the equation that worries me. A husband who is a sender would not work well for me!

That is really cool How'd they find you? I like the picture and I need to look up the rest of the issue to see the other ladies. I'm smirking of her advice to lay off tithing...if she only knew the blessings of your contribution. :)

I love. I now officially know a famous person! I think you look so good in your picture. What'd you think of your analysis? Did you really only spend 150 on groceries? We spend WAY more than that. I hope these are NOT including Brandon's spending...otherwise I feel like a big spender with my food.

LAURA and ELIZA said...

Congrats on being so frugal! I am not that disciplined. That's fun they did a story on you, COOL!!

Rebecs said...

SO cool! I swear places like Walmart have ruined me because somehow my grocery, beauty & grooming, household supplies have all blended together so it hard to keep track of everything!

I am so glad you commented on my blog because I screwed mine up and have not been able to find yours since. SO now that I have updated myself on your's... when, why and where to are you going to Europe?
Your hair looks fabulous!

Brandon and Erica said...

yes. you already know how I feel about this, but so glad you decided to make it public. (As if the magazine wasn't public enough).
You rock the kazbah.

Lyndsey! Real Simple is my favorite magazine- the only one I've ever owned a subscription to- you are my hero!! One for being in the magazine and mostly for being able to stick to a budget!!! You go girl!

Michelle said...

HOLY COW!!! That is so cool. You are so rad. Yeah, you really should reconsider that 10% you tithe if you want to be taken care of in the future. PLEASE--- I want more! Do I neeed to buy the magazine to see how the others fared???

I've spied on you for a while (this is Sami's cousin, Jill, by the way) but I had to comment this time. "She may have to reconsider the tithing"...amazing. You can send the author that quote along with a picture of your big, beautiful, beachside home you purchase in a year thanks to that tithing. If she only knew...

Stephanie said...

That's awesome!

Marielle said...

hey! you look so pretty in this picture! How cool to be in a magazine! I liked the part how they said that if you basically didn't pay your tithing that you would meet your goals a lot sooner. That made me laugh out loud. Anyway, way to go on being frugal! Hope you guys are doing well. I read your blog all the time

Way Cool! I love the picture. How fun to be part of the magazine. You must be good at grocery shopping (or starving). I guess there was a time when our grocery bill was under $400 a week. Keep on saving. The down payment will come.
