homemade bagels! My parents didn’t teach me about finances outright, but I saw them reconciling their checkbook, living below their means, and I knew they invested in the stock market. __ Julia, I am so impressed by your canned goods! Your homemade bagels look lovely; what recipe do you use?

When finances are tight, often the only area we can control is our food spending. Homemade baked goods: Oatmeal Raspberry Muffins w/ Chocolate Chips , waffles, pancakes, scones, etc. – (W & Sat). Lunches: Soups & Homemade Breads – The BEST EVER Enchilada Soup (more often in the fall & winter, less in the summer).

If you’ve ever eaten homemade cookies before, you’ve probably tasted the Toll House recipe. You can’t get what you want out of your personal finances on the Toll House budget. I’ve found that ever since I started budgeting the way I make cookies, I’ve found working on our finances much sweeter.

Like many across the globe, my family’s finances are a bit unstable due to the Coronvius Pandemic. Finances after the Pandemic: We went through a rough time back in 2012/2013 and we wrote our Debt Freedom Plan as a result of it. We will get through this, but it won’t be unscathed. Kids in the kitchen.

I don’t want to feel like I’m wasting all the gifts I’ve been given, including my finances. On a recent trip that involved flying, I packed dry oats, dry chia seeds, frozen homemade applesauce, homemade cookies, a loaf of Jimmy John’s bread made into 3 salami sandwiches, and a bag of baby carrots.

That’s good for the Earth and for personal finances. I happened upon some old canning Mason jars at a garage sale, and now we use those for everything–making iced tea in the summer, putting leftover soup in, holding our homemade laundry detergent. So often, being environmentally friendly and saving money go hand in hand.
