What We Ate and How Much We Spent on Groceries – Week 9 of 52

Week 9 groceries were pretty significant for us. I always say buy only what’s on your list when you shop, but last week I made an unexpected purchase.

Not Impressed With Our Debt January 2023

January wasn’t too bad for us. That’s not a great way to start a post but it’s true, considering we have had many Januarys where we have struggled greatly. I am very happy to say we were one of the first to pay our Town/County taxes and not one of the last. This is aContinue reading “Not Impressed With Our Debt January 2023”

Week 3 went way better than week 2. I was finally on the mend from being sick for two weeks straight and felt more like cooking!

One Hundred Dollars a Month

I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.
