I've done a couple things to fulfill my new year's resolution.

Saturday: Went to get my pedicure. Check!

Sunday: Went for a walk for an hour. Since I could not go for a walk this week, I combined and made it for an hour, instead of 30 min. Check!

Now, I'm planning to do a couple of deals at Safeway. There are several deals going on at Safeway, and some are really good one.

One is breakfast deal. Buy 10 item and get $10 off. Quaker products are participating products and they are $2 each. That means, the price will be $1 each after buying 10 items, and can even lower using coupons.

I already bought 10 boxes of granola bars for 50 cents each. I still have coupons for oatmeal and oatmeal to go. Oatmeal will be 30 cents per box after promotion and coupons. That's pretty good. We still have some left from last Quaker deal, but expiration date for oatmeal is quite a long time.

Campbell's select soup is another deal I’m looking at. It is part of “Buy 10 and get $5 off” promotion, and the price is $1.5 each. After buying 10 of them, the final price is $1 each, and I can use five of .40/2 coupon that will bring the final price to $8, 80 cents per can.

I don’t feel like going anywhere now. So, I will stop by the store tomorrow after work.

I set up 5 resolutions, and 2 of them have number goals.

For my $5,000 EF goal, I will use my ING savings account. Currently, I have $1,538.14. So, I need to save $3,461.86 more in this account. That's $288.49 per month. Hmmmm... How do I do that? Let's see.

For my auto care account, I will use my Sharebuilder account for this. I know stocks are not suited for such a purpose, like auto care, but I kind of made up this account just a sake of saving for something. Maybe I should rename it for "just because" account. Anyway, I will be investing $100 per month for this account.

I watched the New Year's countdown in NYC. Well, it's only 9 p.m. in CA when it happened.

I also called my mother in Japan, and it's already afternoon on January 1st over there.

OK, I'm ready for 2008 LOL

I've been thinking about New Year's resolution, but could not really come up with one. Let's see....

While healthy finance is important for me, looking good is as important : ) Especially after turning 40, gravity is such an enemy LOL Luckily, I do not have weight problem. I've been 115 lb. for 16 years since my DD was born, and wear size 2. HOWEVER, I know my body is becoming "softer" and some body parts need to be tighten. So, I will be focusing on taking care of our finance and myself.

1. Save $5,000 in EF.
2. Save $1,000 for car care fund.
3. Keep record of coupon savings.
4. Go to pedicure once a month.
5. Go for a walk for at least 30 minutes twice a week.

Now, I'm really ready for the new year.
