Family Balance Sheet

NOVEMBER 25, 2016

Thursday: Thanksgiving. Everyone chips in though, but my mom and two aunts cook the bulk of the food. Saturday: I am roasting a turkey for my family, mostly for the leftovers, but also so the 4 of us can sit down as a family for a big meal. Life is so hectic for us during the school week, and dinner is sadly, on the go.

For Easter, we were able to cut the cost of our dinner by doing some things that we will repeat for Christmas: Bulk Shop. I am normally not a fan of bulk shopping at places like Costco. Being that there are only two of us in our household, we never use up bulk groceries before they go bad, making it a wasteful endeavour.
