We went strawberry picking yesterday. We did blow $ on gas, but we saved 75% picking our own organic strawberries, and I accomplished one of my 101 tasks in 1001 days.
My son made me proud.
I asked him: "Do you want to be my personal assistant? You can remind me of things that need to be done, or help me do them. I will pay you and you can spend your money on toys and at Cafe Racer."
"Spending money is not appropriate. We must save our money," he responded.
Not even five years old.
Spent $32.01 on food -- 40% of that was meat: chicken thighs and breasts, 60% was on fixings for the upcoming barbecues this week. With any luck we'll take home leftovers and eat well for a week.
The Food Delights of Summer!
