My January low spend month has come to an end! I think we did good because I stuck to my lists and no unnecessary items were bought (just leggings and Vday clothes for Mia) outside of our budget, so that is great. Our grocery bill was a little high because we did stock up on our meat like bacon and sausages. I plan to do more stocking up this February because with inflation and supply chain issues, it’s just a smart thing to do and saves us money in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my goals this year is to try different recipes and cook at home (most of the time. I’ve been watching Korean youtube channels and I was inspired to cook DAKDORITANG (Korean spicy chicken stew). It’s simple and delicious! I do have to adjust the spice level because their spices can be on another level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had Poke twice this month. I love it but it’s pricey ($15) a bowl. So this is a treat for me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve seen lots of “frugal February” around social media and seems fun to join but I plan to stock up and add to my pantry so I’m not sure how it will work out for me. I will still be intentional with the spending and buy what’s essential to our family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take care friends and stay safe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
