Concurrently with bringing a bit extra in, we are also focusing on keeping our household and grocery spending in check.
Groceries: $3
Household: $0 (last month wasn’t as great as I thought, either. Found a $43 charge on a little used credit card that I’d not noticed so it went on this month. We also spent over $110 on bark mulch for the yard. And $60 to temporarily fix the lawnmower. On the good side, the full fix costs $125. Eric was willing to just get it fixed good enough, meaning no more electric start. We’ve had to have it serviced most springs, and we’re tired of that. We might buy a new one at the end of the season sales.)
