Pardon My Brag.......
Just wanted to let you all know that I kept my grocery bill for January to $60. I tried for $50, but went over. I decided to eat off the stockpile and just purchased milk, greens and fruit. Woo-Hoo!!
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming....Spiritual:
"You are fearfully and wonderfully made." Please... respect life.
Financial:
Debt free, hoping to stay that way!
MY BLOG: glorybug.wordpress.com
1. Keep on writing.
2. Get some balance in my life.
3. Lose weight. Hopefully 5# this year. (9.5 pounds right now! Yay, Me!!)
4. Continue to be looking for how God wants to use me this year.

Thesightofoneself, good question. There are just two of us here. However, we had company in a few times and I also cooked a crisis meal. I have canned fruit in the pantry, so could have made it lower. But I did splurge on fresh fruit.
