Real Family Budget Update — October 2020

November 10, 2020 by Stephanie 4 Comments

October was a spendy month for us. It was a perfect example of things not quite going the way you planned.

October 2020 Monthly Grocery Haul

October 20, 2020 by Stephanie 2 Comments

We have had pretty big grocery hauls lately, but October’s was different.  I waited until the middle of the month to go shopping, and even then we really didn’t need to go.  With the experience of our quarantine food storage challenge and with a garden that’s still producing, we are doing just fine. Still, I […]

It’s budget update time! If you’re new here, for the last nearly seven years we’ve shared our family’s real budget here every month.

Real Family Budget Update – August 2020

September 10, 2020 by Stephanie 7 Comments

It’s time for a budget update!  I pretty much haven’t checked in with you all since our budget update a month ago.  August was a crazy month getting homeschooling set up for our 4 school-age kids.  It seriously consumed all of my time!  You seasoned homeschoolers probably have all sorts of secrets that I don’t […]

It’s time for our July 2020 real numbers budget update!
