Testimonial from Karen I just want to say thanks. I see you post often about ALDI and I always write it off as a not for us because it is too far away. Today, I was in the neighboring city and knew I needed to stop for some fruit at the grocery store. Right as I thought of it, we drove by an ALDI. I pulled in the parking lot and we went inside to “check it out”. The first thing we noticed was the milk, $1.89 a gallon! That was shock! We pay $3.39 a gallon. Next, I went to the produce. The prices were good but the fruit was picked over. We were able to get cantaloupe for $0.99 each and that was exciting (they are $2.50 at our regular grocery store!) So for a gallon of milk and 3 cantaloupe I paid $4.86, if I had bought this at my grocery it would have been $10.89!!! What a savings! Then, we stopped at the nearby Target for 3 specific items: diapers, cheese, and a skillet meal. The diapers were $0.90 cheaper and the cheese was $0.65 cheaper than the Target by our house. The skillet meals were the same price, but this Target store carried more variety than the one by our house. Also, we noticed gas was $0.11 a gallon cheaper in this town than where we live. I make a trip to this town every two weeks, and I think I’m going to start planning my grocery trips around it. While I can’t buy two weeks’ worth of milk at once, I can save $1.40 a gallon for every gallon I do buy. I am excited to see what I can “save” by buying here instead of at home and I would not have noticed if I hadn’t read your posts about ALDI! So, thank you! -Karen

In our art lessons this week, we were studying about Michelangelo. One part from the book really grabbed my attention: Michelangelo was one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance, being both a painter and a sculptor. Yet, when asked by a student, “Master, how did you become a great artist?” his reply was brief and to the point, “I drew, and I drew, and I drew some more.”
I found this so interesting because even an amazing artist like Michelangelo recommended just doing the simple but hard things over and over and over again. It reminds me of a great quote I read earlier this week: “Small daily improvements are the key to staggering long-term results.” A few weeks back, I was having a conversation with someone about goal-setting. They've seen my goal lists that I've posted here and they wondered if goal-setting just comes naturally to me. Here's the thing: I didn't start goal-setting and instantly see success. In fact, the first few years I tried to set yearly goals, I really stunk at it. I would set goals that were too ambitious, too unrealistic, or just plain too vague. And then I'd be discouraged when I'd fail at them or give up on them soon after I started. But, despite my discouragement, I kept trying. Kept setting goals. Keeping tweaking them. Kept learning what worked — and what didn’t work. Over time, I got a little better. And a little better. And a little better. Pretty soon, goals that would have been impossible a few years before (like this year’s goal to read 150 books), are seeming much more doable. That’s the power of practice! 
If you’re feeling like you’re getting nowhere with goal-setting, or losing weight, or paying off debt, or sticking with your budget, or developing discipline in your life, don’t give up. Keep practicing. Keep trying. Keep pressing forward — even if it seems like you’re going slower than a snail’s pace. Some day soon, you’ll look back and realize that all that sweat, clawing, and persistence has paid off! “Every champion was once a contender who refused to give up.” -Rocky Balboa  Related Stories

If you feel like your life is one big chaotic mess of mountains of laundry, dishes, and to-do lists, you’ll want to attend.

This workshop is open to the public. The cost is just $2 per person. To pre-register by phone, call 316-858-9100. Click here to pre-register online.

Find more details on these speaking engagements here.  Related Stories I’m so sorry for creating a scare yesterday with the email I posted from a reader on Amazon’s Subscribe & Save Program. And I’m happy to share this email from Mandi from Jungle Deals & Steals that clarifies things: The S&S comment/question you posted today is absolutely not true. In your Subscribe & Save orders, you will see the current price of the item, but the order is actually generated on the day you place the order, and that is the price you pay for the item, even if it rises in the meantime. Your email order confirmation also shows the price you’ll pay (although it’s not deducted from your account until the day it ships). I place between 6-8 S&S orders a month, and I am 100% confident that this is still the way it works. The way to check is to visit the Manage Your Subscribe & Save Orders page. You’ll see the current price next to each item, but if you click on the item title/description to go to the product page, there is a yellow bar with a link at the top of the page that says “View this order”. Click on that link, and it will show you the price you’re actually paying for the item based on the day your order was placed. The S&S policy is that you pay the price of the product on the date your order is placed. For your first month, this means the day you create the subscription and place your first order. In subsequent months, the price may vary, but you’ll receive an email confirming the price you’ll pay that month with the option to cancel the order before it ships. -Mandi from Jungle Deals & Steals
