He never, ever helped me on that count. I complained and he said he thought I liked to cook. When I told him it was the decision of what to cook every night that I disliked, he never understood and still would not express a choice. It was disheartening. <br />Practical ParsimonyLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388810380797297879.post-83192610979888690522016-09-29T08:23:03.840-07:002016-09-29T08:23:03.840-07:00So glad you stopped by!

Even the bacon was a good price - this week, the stores here are having 12-16 oz. packets of bacon on sale for $3.99 (with a $1 off digital coupon).Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388810380797297879.post-62128304118661704492016-09-28T11:04:55.418-07:002016-09-28T11:04:55.418-07:00Yeah it is kind of a sad state of affairs that foo...Yeah it is kind of a sad state of affairs that food in it's purest most unprocessed form costs more than stuff that has had a lot of steps to get it to our table.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388810380797297879.post-17134622218601182602016-09-28T11:03:35.726-07:002016-09-28T11:03:35.726-07:00Nah I would never unfriend anyone who encourages m...Nah I would never unfriend anyone who encourages me to spend!

That's not something we do very often--maybe once a year, however we used to do it a lot more when we were young before kids.<br />If you did this budget for very long, I think you'd figure out how to work more eating out into it. You'd save in another area to spend in this one. You'd watch for specials and ask for gift cards for birthdays, etc. It might be fun exploring out of the way inexpensive places to eat.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388810380797297879.post-20800741826026442002016-09-28T06:37:14.530-07:002016-09-28T06:37:14.530-07:00Trust me, I don't think I deserved it at all. ...Trust me, I don't think I deserved it at all.
