  • Low-Spend July: Days 23-25

    Sometimes it feels like you rip a bandaid off your low-spend month, and a bleed starts, and it’s really difficult to stop that bleeding.   I’m still failing enormously at eating out!  I’m not sure why it’s so difficult.  I like to cook and I’m a decent cook.  But meals out creep into our consciousness…

  • Low-Spend July: Days 9-22(!)

    My “low-spend” July hasn’t been AS successful so far as it could have been!  I’m seeing a trend here.  Haha.  I’m continuing to simplify our space and my routine, so that’s fun but sometimes requires spending a little money.  Is it essential, or non-essential?  That’s personal and only you can answer.  But I’ve decided that…

  • Minimalist Kitchen: What do you REALLY need?

    I’ve pared my kitchen down a lot over the past several years, and I still have a way to go.  Some changes I’ve made: Got an Instant Pot and got rid of several slow cookers, my rice cooker, my yogurt maker and my stove top pressure cooker. Got rid of my huge food processor and…

  • Low-Spend July: Days 3-8

    I’m going to go over several days at once; I haven’t had a chance to log on daily so I’ll just go over the past 6 days now.  I need to go back to keeping track daily, because I THOUGHT I was doing really well, but it all adds up to way more than I…

  • Low-Spend July: Day 2

    Today’s spending was very low, which is nice, right?  We needed two 27.5″ bike tubes with Presta valves for Jake’s bike (Tom rode it through thorns and the tubes were shot), and $18 was the cheapest price with tax. We also dropped $200 at the SRP machine, which gives us roughly 12 days of electricity.…
