Every end or start of the week, I prefer shopping in bulk… This means I check our pantry and drawers to see what I need to refill or add.
Then I come up with a budget and a list of things to get… It’s not always to stick to our budget, however at least this saves me from spending money unnecessarily while in the rest of the week.
This is something that I l earned from mom, and he was in charge of the money once Mom brought modern home his check, and there was never a day we ran out of food or non-food items. Things aren’t as difficult for me as they were for our parents when I was young, and but, that doesn’t mean I can spend money eating out every day of the week. I’m crucial on meal prepping and carrying dinner to our place of work, and another thing I do every month is change our air filters in the AC. I live in an section where the A/C is always running for 9 weeks in a year. The rest of the days are mild Wintertide which I find so amazing. Because I have to use the A/C frequently, I have to make sure I upgrade the air filter every week. Failure to do so can affect the way the A/C runs, and also mess with our air quality; My aunt, who is an Heating & A/C professional, is always adamant about replacing the air filters. It’s the best way to keep the A/C running longer, and also improve the conditions in our home, however just prefer the food and non-food items, I also purchase air filters in bulk. There is a Heating & A/C store in city that sells them affordably if you choose to get 2 or more cartons of air filters.
