My First Days at College:Room Decor + College Shopping Tool: Amazing on a Budget

August 1, 2013


I was so lucky with my college roommate… we hit it off right away.
(She ended up being in my wedding!) I remember the first night…
my roommate and I went to Walmart down the street to do a little shopping!
Just to make our dorm room “cuter!” ;)
With no budget…we ended up getting some pieces of fabric to pin
to the dorm room window curtains.. Some sheer curtains to divide
the front space to the back area..and a fake tree and ferns..
HAHA. Along with some other little stuff.
It was fun making it our own little space. Warm and cozy. I remember laughing so
hard in that room with my roommate and the girls on our wing!

I can’t even imagine sending my kids off to college…
I’m having a hard enough time thinking of Sophia in Kindergarden!! 
But I know it’ll be here in a blink of an eye.

I think this is a pretty cool service from Walmart to help you stay on Budget
when preparing your kids for College! Amazing on A Budget. 
I love this tool as a way to help teach your child
budgeting while getting ready for college.
And I’m kindaaaa a fan of lists. so I love the checklist idea! ;)
If you love budgeting..and checklists.. you’ll love this too!
1. Pick a checklist to start with.
2. Choose the categories you will need.
3. At a price that fits your budget.
4. See Product suggestions that fit with your style and needs.
5. Get the products shipped to you or the store!

If you aren’t sure where to start..check out the two videos at the
bottom of the Amazing on a Budget Page for inspiration and ideas.
