We’ve seen higher grocery and fuel bills lately, so we’re upping our frugal game to help the budget. I have been packing my freezer with breakfast sausage, chicken, and Italian sausage–all marked down 40-50% off. Our financial goals are still important to us and we want to hit them regardless of the rising prices.

Since we don’t have an extra freezer to store items anymore, we aren’t buying huge amounts of food. There’s something to be said for storing food for later, but at some point you end up just filling the freezer and the food eventually goes bad. This means we are spending less on stuff.

Our only spending going forward will be for essentials, such as our mortgage, utilities, groceries, our Medi-Share premium , and fuel for the cars. I shop once a week and while I have some stuff in my freezer and cupboards, I don’t have more than two week’s worth of food if we absolutely couldn’t leave our house at all.
