With username like that I think I gotta take your recommendation. If they weren’t good we probably wouldn’t hear the end of it

We (two people) spend maybe $600/month maybe $700 at most and eat pretty large meals. When we eat meat, it’s usually chicken or fish and we buy it at costco and keep it frozen until we need it. Most of the groceries we buy at the store are fresh produce or dairy/eggs/oat milk. We very rarely buy steaks, frozen foods, and prepared foods from the grocery store (except rotisserie chicken).

We usually plan out 2 meals a week that will last 2-3 nights each and then eat out or order in 1 night. Planning out meals and eating the same things for a few nights probably helps keep costs low.

My car broke down on Saturday morning on the way to buy some last minute Christmas gifts. It took my insurance company roadside assistance 48 hours to find a tow truck so my car didn’t get towed until yesterday.

I was supposed to drive back to DC yesterday. Now my car has been in the shop for a day and they never even ran a diagnostic yesterday.

So my trip has been extended a day after starting 2 days early due to my grandmother dying. It’s been a long 2 weeks. And I gotta work this week.
