Family Balance Sheet

MARCH 30, 2014

The Goal of the Grocery Budget Challenge is to be creative with our meal planning and grocery shopping so that we do not over-spend. Spaghetti made with pre-cooked sausage and my homemade roasted vegetable sauce. Tacos using pre-cooked chicken or ground turkey that I keep in the freezer and homemade taco seasoning.

I usually add a side of steamed vegetables and cheap, but tasty homemade garlic bread. We are hosting 5 other 4th graders for a sleepover to celebrate my oldest daughter’s tenth birthday. My double digit midget requested pizza from a local shop. Tuesday: Turkey Veggie Sloppy Joes , french fries, steamed broccoli.

In April, we saved quite a bit of money by comparison shopping, and choosing thrift first. We Shopped for New Home Owners/Auto Insurance. I had not shopped around for home owners and auto insurance quotes in YEARS. Note to self, next year, DON’T FORGET THE HOMEMADE CUPCAKES! Shame on ME!

The cost of restaurant food isn’t the only cringe-worthy aspect of eating out; restaurant food has far more sodium, chemicals, fat, and other “mystery ingredients” than that of the “homemade” variety. We also grocery shop once per week. The same goes for New Years Eve. I meal plan once per week.

The article specifies that Garlick did not buy any birthday or Christmas presents for her children, but I’m sure that they got items from well-meaning relatives. They argue that the children will be teased as they grow up and will feel unloved because their parents got them homemade gifts rather than buying them new.

I had a GREAT birthday. I wanted to wear something comfortable and easy to shop in**, so I went with this… That’s my “birthday dress”. I have been doing a lot of internet shopping for bags leading up to my birthday, trying to find the right bag at the right price. It was a birthday miracle. Yum, again.
