An Ode to Canadian Winters
I visited some friends in Toronto for the weekend and as I painstakingly drove through some not-so-nice weather I thought about all of the things I had spent money on.

Saturday Spending Update
This week I went out to eat a few times. This isn’t exactly ideal for me, but it’s also not normal and just happened because of a few different circumstances.

How We Lowered Our Grocery Bills
In the month of November we had our lowest budgeted month for groceries yet. We paid approximately $250 for two people’s groceries for the entire month, which isn’t too bad at all!
