How are you doing? Fan-freakin'-tastic, I'd say. Your grocery budget is amazing. I am so impressed! In terms of a "blind spot"...I don't know if this is an option, but have you thought about getting rid of cable television? We ditched ours years ago, we don't miss it at all, and it would save you at least $50 a month ( which = at least $600 per year), if not more. I know for some people cable is a "necessity", so might not be an option for you, but thought I'd throw it out there.
Did I mention? So impressed!
Ditto on Jennifer. You've definitely got me thinking about my own budget, even though we like to say that we don't have a "latte factor" in our lives. But, alas, cable is a necessity. For me. I couldn't live without
The Closer - Monk - Big Love. Well, I'd live, but I'd be a shell of my former self. ha! Hyperbole much?
