when it comes to groceries – every dollar counts. Let me start by saying that I spend very little on groceries compared to most. I don’t know how because I eat almost every single hour, but my fiancé and I manage to only spend about $120-$150 per month each totalling to approximately $300. I think […]

Well, another month has come and gone in 2015. Scary right? To think that it’s already fall and we are almost at Christmas time?! I’m sure you’re all dying to know how I did this month because I gave myself quite a gruelling challenge. In order to fulfill my goal, I would have to put […]

When it comes to spending money on unnecessary products, I used to be the Queen of them all. I had so many guilty pleasures that were attached to my credit card – there was no actual guilt associated.

I have a piece of paper sitting in a box in my closet with the words Europe, South America, Central America, New Zealand, and Australia written on it. None crossed out, none experienced. It’s sometimes hard for me to admit that I haven’t done any big trips because where I’m from, just about everyone I […]

I don’t mean saving money for retirement, or saving money for a big trip that summer (unless you find it worthwhile). I mean saving money so that you can continue to afford groceries, gas, and to still be capable of managing […]

personally, food is always in the top half of my expenses Isn’t it sad how easy our generation is swayed by advertising when it comes to food? We love to try new meals, new restaurants, and claim it’s the best way to get together with friends and family. Food makes things less awkward, food makes […]
