We've had a crazy last couple of weeks. My daughter, my husband and I have all been sick, with my daughter getting the worst of it. We've been short staffed at work, I've had a freelance project to get done and my daughter turned a year old. Amid all of the extra running around, we've spent some extra money:
Hopefully, everything goes back to normal for a while.
At first, the frozen dinners I had stored in the freezer served as not only work lunches but also as home meals -- until I started running low on them; that's when we started eating out more. Having the stockpile, then, worked to our advantage. I just need to find a way to keep a bunch of them handy even when things get crazy.
I don't know how to avoid having to do all of my grocery shopping at Walmart, though, when our schedules get this hectic. Maybe rebuilding my stockpile of coupons will help for the times when it's unavoidable.
- I wasn't able to shop during Aldi's store hours, so I wound up doing all of our grocery shopping at Walmart, which costs more.
- We've had a lot more meals on the go (fast food).
