Have you ever thought of becoming a virtual assistant?

My 7-Minute Shopping Trip to Kroger + more deals!

I'm currently challenging myself to stick with a $70 grocery budget for our family of five. This includes almost all of our breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and dinners + most household products (toiletries, laundry soap, etc.).
For live updates, be sure to follow my Instagram Stories. See all posts on my $70 Grocery Budget here.

Since the kids are back to school and we only have two schools to do drop-offs at this year (instead of three different schools like last year), we have a little time in between dropping Kaitlynn and Silas off and when we need to drop Kathrynne off.

So she and I have been hitting Kroger during that time to see what deals and markdowns we can find (since there’s a Kroger right on our way!). We usually have about 7-10 minutes to get in, check for deals, check out, and get back to the car.

I hear from many people that they don’t have time to look for deals. Well, here’s proof that it doesn’t have to take a whole lot of time! 🙂

Tuesday Kroger Shopping Trip #1

2 packages of Johnsonville Brats — marked down to $1.99 each
1 bag of oranges — marked down to $0.99
Total with tax: $5.28

I couldn’t get the coupons for the Talenti gelato to print before we left for school, so we stopped by Kroger on the way home from our Trivia Night with friends to pick up Talenti. Because hello? Talenti Gelato for just $0.59 is kind of a steal! 🙂

Tuesday Kroger Shopping Trip #2:

2 pints of Talenti Gelato — on sale Buy One at $5.18, Get One Free, used $4/2 printable coupon (no longer available)
Total with tax: $1.25

(And I didn’t get pictures — because it was late when we got home and I went to bed. Well, not before eating some gelato! ;))

I also got the BIC Xtra Sparkle Pencils — 48 pencils for just $8!

Thursday Kroger Shopping Trip

3 bags of apples — marked down to $0.99 per bag
5 boxes of Capri Sun — $1.29 each when you buy 5 participating items
Total with tax: $10.01

Total Spent This Week So Far
Total spent so far on groceries this week: $16.54
Total left to spend: $53.46
Cashback Earned: 115 + 51 points earned from Fetch for buying Capri Sun & Talenti + $0.25 from iBotta for scanning a receipt.

P.S. By the way, I share very honestly and vulnerably in this course about what our real-life schedule looks like and how I juggle all the things I juggle without feeling completely stressed or overwhelmed! This course is chock full of practical tips and hands-on help!

Have you ever thought of becoming a virtual assistant?

Have you ever thought about becoming a virtual assistant? It’s a great way to make some extra money from home — especially if you’re just getting your blog off the ground! Or, maybe you’re an experienced blogger who would like to earn more on the side by using the skills you’ve developed to help others!

Carlee and Victoria are two busy moms who needed to earn an income from home in the margins of their days. Neither of them had time for sales parties or the cash on hand for minimum orders, and they both needed flexible hours that allowed them to keep staying home with their precious kiddos.

And they found it!

What Carlee and Victoria discovered (and what I know to be so true, too!) is that there are lots of small business owners who need help running day-to-day operations of their businesses. From posting to social media to writing emails and handling customer service, Virtual Assistants (or VAs) do it all.

And they do it from home.

During nap time, school time, early mornings or after bedtime, these moms work on their computers from the comfort of their homes – and earn an income doing it.

Carlee and Victoria got so many questions about their jobs that they couldn't even answer them all. So they've put together a free class all about what they do, how they do it, and how you can join in, called Moms Work Hard: Earn an Income from Home Without Selling a Thing!

Their desire is empower moms to use skills they already have to work from home for years to come, changing the financial future of their families. They teach methods that not only have been proven by experience, but they also set up VAs and the business owners with support for sustainable, long-term growth.

Would you like to learn more about becoming a virtual assistant? Join us on Monday evening (August 27, 2018) at 8 p.m. CT/9 p.m. EST for a free class on how to earn an income from home as a virtual assistant.

In this class, you’ll learn:

How to find margins in your busy days to work from home
How to discover the skills you ALREADY have that you can use right away
3 strategies to finding your first work-at-home job
How to get on track to positively change your family's future
Plus, the three of us will host a live Q&A at the end to answer your burning questions! I hope you can join us!
