Ever since I started sharing my monthly grocery shopping hauls, especially now that we’re trying to eat healthier (more real food, less processed stuff), I have received so many questions about how we are able to eat all of our produce before it goes bad. We try to do pretty much the whole month’s shopping […]
$360 Monthly Grocery Shopping Haul– May 2018 (+ video)
After lots of inquiries about how we feed our family of seven on less than $400 per month, I started showing you exactly what we buy with our grocery spending. Of course I don’t expect anyone to buy the exact same things as we buy. Food preferences are pretty personal, but hopefully showing you what […]
Transparent Family Budget Update– April 2018
We were really curious to see how our 2017 taxes were going to turn out. Our tax situation was different than it had ever been so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. Last year we bought a house (after not having owned one for five years), ran two profitable businesses (my blog and my […]
Refinancing Our Mortgage 🏠 (from 30-year to 15-year)– Everything you want to know
Do you get more done when you have a deadline? Us too. The adage that “work expands to fill the time available for its completion” can be true in business, in school, and in financial goals. So as we mentioned in our last two budget updates, we decided to limit the time we spend paying […]
What I Wish I’d Known About Money in College
I haven’t always been the debt-smashing budget boss I am today. Nope! Far from it! I wasn’t a financial disaster in college, BUT I was a complete newbie to managing money. I got my first checking account and my first apartment in the same week (after moving two thousand miles away from my family). There […]

$250 Monthly Grocery Shopping for April (with video)
This is our fourth month giving the behind-the-scenes look at how we grocery shop for our family of seven! (The little guy is just barely starting on solids, so I often say family of six when I talk about groceries.) I don’t have any deep dark grocery secrets (at least I don’t think I do), […]
Transparent Family Budget Update– March 2018
I know it’s been quiet around here for the past couple of weeks. Between sickness going through our family and taking a family road trip for Spring Break (which unfortunately overlapped with the sickness), I’ve been away from my computer. Sickness or not, you know I’ll get back on track to share our monthly budget […]
How Jen Paid Off $77,000 of Student Loan Debt
When we were working our way out of six figures of student loan debt I loved hearing stories of people who had made it to the other side of the daunting debt hurdle. I still love hearing debt payoff stories! Today Jen from Frugal Millennial is sharing her story! When I finished grad school, I found myself […]
{Healthy} $330 Monthly Grocery Shopping Trip– March 2018– Price List + Video
When we were working hard to pay off debt, we were pretty good at sticking to one big monthly grocery shopping trip. Now that we live much closer to actual stores, we end up going more often, which can be dangerous. Our monthly shopping trip started to be not-so all-inclusive since we could easily get […]
