Friday Update

May 2nd, 2020 at 01:06 am


Went to the grocery store today, I really wanted to stick to the list, but I ended up picking up a few extra things. The good thing is, I won’t have to go out for a few weeks.

Since this whole thing is going on regarding the food supply, I picked up some ground beef 🥩, pork loin and chops. I did something I never do, and that’s rationing the meat. I decided to divvy up the meat, so that I could what I eat and nothing goes to waste. For example; I can cook one chop at a time vs the whole pack.

I live alone and I find that when I cook an entire pack of meat most of it is thrown out. Coupled with meal planning, I’m hoping this helps.

I’m in a ton of Facebook groups regarding saving money and paying down debt. This month it’s drink water only, for every day I have water only, I’ll add $1 to my challenge envelope ✉️. For the days I don’t, it’s $2. I’m also participating in keep change challenge, where you round up the change and save it. I like this since I’m not using cash due to COVID.

Lastly, I paid an extra $250 on the CC. Again it’s not the extra amount that I would normally pay, I’m in storm mode saving because I have no clue what will happen with COVID

    I separate my meat portions up into single portions before freezing too. Definitely less waste that way.

    We've been cutting back on our meat consumption as well. One of our stores allows you to buy one or two pork chops at a time instead of a package which is what I had been doing instead of buying a package. Last week we had two chicken breasts in a package...I used one for one meal -- sliced it so we had two thin pieces and breaded and fixed that and the next day chopped the other one and added it to stir fry.
