Erinshane's Disney Fund

[erinshaneb]

We just returned from taking out kids to WDW with my dad about two weeks ago..My daughter is 4 and my son was 8 months old..We stayed at AKL, which was a dream (as always)..we didn't take any other vacations this past year bcuz we were saving and paying for this vacation..My husband wants to take a couple of little vacations next year and wait to head back to Disney until 2013..I don't think I can wait..lol..So I tripped across this website while doing some surfing about coupons..I have become obsessed with couponing and saving money..I want to to surprise my husband with the money to go without him having to pay for it..I can't wait... ;D

September 2011
Here's the breakdown..(Approximately)
AKL: $3,800 (hopefully we will get a discount again $2,280)
Flights: $1,200
Cash: $ 1,000
Dining: $?? (Not sure what we will do about dining..this year we wasted quite a bit bcuz we couldn't make it to all the reservations)
Grand Total: $ 6,000

Disney Fund as of October 4th:
Opening Balance $98
Money Saved with Coupons $72
Baby Item Sold $ 40
Refund Check from Overpaying for a Medical Test $37.07
Grand Total (minus some bank fees) $243.74
Remainder: $5,756.26
I "owe" myself some coupon money from this past weekend, but I will just add that next week
We don't count the spare change, it just goes into a jar and then after that fills up we finally trade it in..I have points with my Visa that we can trade in for cash at the end..here's hoping we make it !!!
