A few days ago, I posted about our heating-and-air unit being on its last leg. The technician who came out thought that our electric panel had issues that made a new unit impossible until we had some major electrical work done. Well, an electrician came out to our house a few days ago and determined that our electricity is, in fact, up to code. As it turns out, our electric panel was just mislabeled. We will still have to shell out a few thousand dollars for the new heating-and-air unit, which won't be fun, but at least the whole project will not be as expensive as we had feared.
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.
