Did you notice that the title of my monthly report is now “Budget Report” instead of “Debt Repayment Progress Report.” I’m pretty excited about that. If nothing else, it’s a shorter title! Even with our debt paid off, I’ll still be sharing with you all our monthly earning and spending. It really does keep me accountable. I […]
6 Fun Ways to Lower Your Grocery Budget
Mary Poppins spoke the truth when she said, “In every job that must be done there is an element of fun. You find the fun…. and snap! The job’s a game!” I love games and I’m always up for a challenge. Though my husband and I never fight, we can be very competitive when it comes […]
Frugal Feats, Flops, and Funnies– Tires, Cereal, & Birthday Hacks
Every day this week has felt like Friday to me. I’m glad Friday is finally here so I can finally know what day it is! I’m really enjoying thinking back on the week to discover some frugal gems that would otherwise be lost in the busy-ness of everyday life. I would love to hear about […]
Are You Doing the Financial Potty Dance
My three older kids were all potty trained right around their second birthday. It’s actually pretty wonderful (and it saves money too)! Once they get the hang of doing their business when they need to, they start to get a little lazy. Or maybe they are just over-confident. Either way, they don’t want their business […]
Frugal Feats, Flops, and Funnies– Cranberry Crazy Edition
Paying regular price, buying everything new, and having exactly everything you need would be so boring, don’t you think? Frugality is definitely an adventure that keeps life interesting. Okay, maybe a splurge would be fun every now and then too, but if you’re living the frugal life either by choice or by circumstance, you may as […]
Frugal Feats, Flops, and Funnies– Wild Grapes Edition
In an effort to share more of our day-to-day frugality (like many of you requested in my reader survey), I started on a new Friday series: Frugal Feats, Flops, and Funnies. You can hop back and read last week’s edition if you missed it. I would love for this to become an opportunity for you to […]
Why I changed my mind about freezer cooking
I was a teenager the first time I tried out freezer cooking. I set a goal to make a month’s-worth of meals for my family (I grew up in a family of six). I dusted off the Once-a-Month Meals cookbook that lived on the bookshelf with other rarely opened cookbooks and dove right in. I […]
Frugal Feats, Flops, and Funnies– U-Pick edition
After reading all of the wonderful ideas and suggestions that you shared in my reader survey (it’s still open, hint hint!), I have decided to start a new Friday series to share more day-to-day snippets of the frugal life. I’m calling it Frugal Feats, Flops, and Funnies. I am all about alliteration. I’m excited to have a place to share tips and […]
July 2016 Debt Repayment Progress Report
Today’s report is going to be a little anti-climactic, as I already announced the big news! Waiting for nearly a month to tell all of you may have killed me, so I let the cat out of the bag early! In case you missed it, we are now 100% debt free as of the beginning […]
What’s next? Our goals now that we’re debt-free!
In case you missed it, we finished paying off our six figures of student loan debt! In the end, we paid $144,046 in principal and interest for the JD/MBA that my husband finished in 2012. We’re so glad to have that behind us and move on to other goals. As much as we love living in […]
