    Debt Dumpers 2024

    I'll keep those in mind, but this rental was 0% planned. Our car broke down, we were an hour from home, and no car rental places were open except the airport at that time. We had one for the first week but needed to return it (hoping ours would have been fixed by then) and just got lucky we got...

    Debt Dumpers 2024

    I hate rental car companies and their stupid expensive price gouging because it's spring break. That is all.

    The last few posts have me putting roast beef sammiches on the menu for after vacation.

    Debt Dumpers 2024

    I will forever recommend Christine to anyone and everyone. I've followed her since before the pandemic when she blew up and she's helped me save SO MUCH on my groceries. And I'm obsessed with her family's "budget" vacations that look anything but budget.

    Debt Dumpers 2024

    From someone who was in an abusive relationship previously, I'm saying this with kindness. Your wife is gaslighting the heck out of you. Between the sneaking around with money, the refusal to get finances straight, putting you down your efforts to improve your health, it's 100% gaslighting. She...

    Debt Dumpers 2024

    We looked up the Kelley Blue Book on the van. It's a 2017 with 107k miles on it. It's saying we'd get about 6k for it, which sucks because we bought it in 2022 for $30k. It is what it is. Since we bought it in November of 2022, we have taken it in twice in the first 60 days of owning it for not...

    This is key! I always tried to budget what I thought I SHOULD be at instead of what the reality was. It took months to get it down to reality.

    Debt Dumpers 2024

    When we get back from vacation it appears we will be car shopping. We went to the Home and Garden show yesterday and when we went to leave, the van wouldn't start. Again. Had to grab an Uber to the airport (the only place open after noon on a Saturday) to get a rental just so we could get home...

    The Running Thread--2024

    Did a 5k this morning! First one in several years after having kids and covid pneumonia that kicked my butt for months afterwards. I anticipated it to be 45 mins and my official time was 46, so I'm really happy with it! It was kinda cold and windy to start, which was a bummer. Looking ahead to...

    Debt Dumpers 2024

    I wish we had a Trader Joe's closer. Our closest one is an hour away and there's only one in the city and it's always so packed it's miserable to try and shop. But I love it so much.

    Debt Dumpers 2024

    We live almost an hour one way from Sam's, so obviously we're bringing cold stuff home. In the summer I try and remember to bring a cooler, but most of the time it's just fine in the back of the van, maybe just a little sweaty.

    Y'all are inspiring me to pull my dang pork loin out and just cook the dang thing. 😂

    They're super cute, but kinda wishes there was a shirt involved too.

    The Running Thread--2024

    Gonna jump in the thread. I need somewhere to kinda of keep myself accountable. I've always wanted to do a half marathon and I made it a goal to do one this year. I used to love running but kids and life have taken me away from it. Hubby got me a treadmill for Christmas so I've been slowly...

    Eat at Home 3!

    We feel that way about pork loin. I always think it would be great to make and yet it's still sitting in our freezer months later because I just don't feel like making it.

    Debt Dumpers 2024

    I also just shred an entire block once I get it and store it in a ziploc bag. It never lasts long enough to go bad around here. I got one of the fancy shredders like this since I knew I'd be shredding my own often. It was under $20. I also use it to shred veggies for salads super quick. We are...

    Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend (Oct. 31-Nov. 3, 2024)

    Glad to read I can pre-order merch a little later. I'm already going to be scraping pennies to get the registration fees. I want to do the challenge and the 5k. Should I register for the challenge first or 5k first? I haven't done a registration since the ToT 10k (RIP) and it definitely wasn't...

    Walmart does mark down meat, you just have to find out when they do it. Ask the meat manager when they typically do their markdowns, it's most likely in the morning when they're trying to get the stuff that's close to sell by date off the shelf. Granted, that may not work for you with your fear...

    Eat at Home 3!

    We picked our side of beef up from the processor last week, so I imagine we'll have some beef heavy meals for a while. 🤣 Tues-Fri it's just me and the kids for dinner since hubby is at work, so they usually get your typical "kid food" while I eat leftovers or salads or something. I do have some...

    We have a chain that sells A2 milk (which my oldest can drink with no adverse issues) and they fairly often run deals for 2 gallons for $6. We buy most other dairy products at Sam's and I feel like at the least, the bricks of cheese are a fantastic price compared to even Aldi.
