August 12, 2022 by Stephanie 21 Comments

Electricity bills in the summer can be brutal!  Our summer rates are double and triple what they are in the winter. If you’re lazy about conserving electricity in the winter, there is some serious motivation to buckle down in the summertime. When we moved into our new house earlier in 2017, I signed up for […]

Monthly Grocery Shopping August 2022

August 10, 2022 by Stephanie 1 Comment

My monthly grocery shopping trip didn’t go as planned. I always try to combine errands since the stores I shop at are a half hour away.  I had to drive a child to a practice that was near Winco so it was going to work out perfectly to do the shopping while I waited for […]

August 8, 2022 by Stephanie 15 Comments

My husband and I met in college.  We got married a few months after I graduated and he still had a few classes left.  We managed to walk away with two bachelor’s degrees and no debt.  We paid our own way and didn’t have full-ride scholarships.  It wasn’t easy, but we did it. With the cost […]

4 Best Places to get Audiobooks for Free (& why we love them)

August 5, 2022 by Stephanie 5 Comments

Nothing compares to snuggling up with a good book and smelling the real paper pages. For convenience, though, audiobooks are pretty darn close to as good as the real thing.

Homemade Strawberry Jam (and Buying Pectin in Bulk)

August 3, 2022 by Stephanie 4 Comments

I was thrilled to find strawberries for $.98/lb this year and have it be at a time when I had room in my schedule for a couple of jam sessions. If you looked at my schedule you wouldn’t think I had room, but a recruited all of my helpers and made time. With prices rising […]

July 2022 Family Budget Update

August 1, 2022 by Stephanie 6 Comments

And just like that the summer is over! School starts in a week. July was a pretty good month for our budget. There weren’t any major surprises. We took a trip to Yellowstone for a week and our gas spending was actually less than June’s (still over $800, though)! That was a pleasant surprise. Since […]

Make Money Renting Your Extra Storage Space

July 29, 2022 by Stephanie Leave a Comment

The idea of renting out an extra room on Airbnb isn’t new, but did you know you can do the same thing for storage space? Instead of overnight guests, you host people’s stuff– like household storage, business inventory, or vehicles– in your spare room, garage, shed, attic, or driveway. I’m excited to tell you about […]

Understanding Sunk Costs– A Life-Changing Secret

July 25, 2022 by Mike 31 Comments

As an undergraduate student I took an economics course from an extraordinary professor.  He was so good that after I had completed the course, I sometimes went back to sit through his lectures again.  That economics course provided more and better decision-making tools than many of my MBA courses on business decision-making.  One literally life-changing […]

5 Reasons to Stock Up on School Supplies

July 22, 2022 by Stephanie 21 Comments

Is it just me or does anyone else have a hard time resisting a box of new Crayola crayons for 25 cents this time of year?  Or how about a package of markers for just a little bit more.  Then there’s glue and scissors and notebooks, oh my! In July, August, and September, the deals […]
