There have been ebbs and flows for our frugality for sure! Right now we are in a let's get back on board mode. We haven't added any NEW debt which of course is great and we have paid off some debt- but not as much as I wish we would have.
You may also recall that I am coming in on the home stretch of my PhD and we have been cash flowing that degree as well as all related travel to the site ( about 12 hours away!!) and books and such. I am happy that we are able to cash flow that and that I have not added any new student loan debt while getting my doctorate. I've even managed to score several scholarships to help me along.
Today's Frugal Accomplishments
Today I made a big pot of chicken and dumplings in the crock pot and we have 4 servings left over- they are packaged up and ready to go for lunches next week for either my husband or myself.I looked through our deep freezer and made a note of what all we have in there. I made a list of what meals we will have for this upcoming week.
We stayed at home all day today ( outside of church) so they only money we technically spent was the gas back and forth to church ( which is about 1 mile away).
My parents and husband and kids and I sat outside for about 2 hours today while the kids played on the trampoline and swing set and we all just visited.
How did you all spend this wonderful Sunday? Getting prepped for a frugal week?
I'm sure the children that God has prepared for you and your family, we'll be there in the right time. :)
ReplyDeleteAeound here, we try to be frugal also, but sometimes it's hard... But we are trying!
:)
Thanks Paula! I know you are right! If there is a child that is meant for our family we'll get that child in due time! Thanks for your comment.
