Take care of your wardrobe to keep it looking work and wear worthy. Plan uses for your leftovers. Pay attention to expiration dates by organizing your pantry and freezer so that the oldest food is in front. Try re-arranging furniture and a deep cleaning instead. Use up your food.

Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 28, 2022

As my kids have grown into teenagers who eat as much as adults, I spend about $800-1000/month–this includes anything I buy at the grocery store, so it includes paper and cleaning products. Designate one night a week as “raid the fridge’ night to get rid of leftovers. The only caveat is that you need to check the expiration date.
