I took last week off from blogging to get ready for an arts & crafts festival. Had I known that the festival would have fewer than 50 attendees, I wouldn't have wasted so much time. I sold nothing, I earned nothing, and now I'm out $35 for a booth, $50 for gas, $25 for food and $53 for a hotel. Next year, I'm taking a pass on that festival.
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.
