A few weeks ago, I wrote about my penny jar, which I haven't emptied in a few years. I had guessed it contained about $7. I was happy to find, then, that it actually contained $12.70. Still no where near enough to get me out of debt, but every little bit helps. That's $12.70 I won't be paying interest on.
This week is another grocery shopping week, and I'm dreading it. I had at one point managed to get my grocery spending under $175 every two weeks, the last few trips have not gone that well. They've all totaled more than $200, not including any supplementary trips I needed to make later. I'm not really sure what I can do to cut it more at this point beyond rethink what we've been eating. Over the past few months, the price of ground beef has gone up quite a bit, and much of what we eat has ground beef in it. I had been buying the leanest beef available, but on my last grocery trip, I bought 90/10 meat. Perhaps we'll need to eat more chicken.
