The Reason I Save: My Priorities...

The Reason I Save. And making the most of what I have. Thursday, 9 October 2014. I had written this post a few days ago, but noticed that there were a lot of similar post on other people's blogs so I wasn't going to bother. But actually I think it might be useful for me to think about what our priorities are and how we spend our money. Here is a list of what we spend our money on. Mortgage (obviously) gets top priority. We are overpaying on this to try and save on interest. Council tax and water rates.

http://thereasonisave1.blogspot.com/2014/10/budget-update-week-4.html
The Reason I Save. And making the most of what I have. Sunday, 5 October 2014. Budget update week 4. Ok I am on week 4 of my 12 week challenge. I have just added my receipts up, I knew I was over budget from my mental calculations, but hadn't realised how much I had gone over. I am not despondent because I have enough main meals to last the month and my freezer is fairly full. I have quite a lot of tinned goods and pasta and rice. Groceries £72.69/ £65. Petrol £5/ £15. Misc £0/ £10. The Reason I Save.

By Hearth and at Home. Wednesday, January 11, 2017.

(She will finish at the community college this summer.). 4 put a raised garden bed along the edge of our home. Our usual little goals:. 1 continue to tweak our budget. Guess W...

By Hearth and at Home: Pressure Cooker Love
http://byhearthandathome.blogspot.com/2017/01/pressure-cooker-love.html
By Hearth and at Home. Thursday, January 12, 2017. The instant pot is hands down my favorite kitchen gadget - it works well when I am pressed for time, or in this case, when I have low energy. I also like that it is an energy saving device. January 12, 2017 at 6:30 PM. I just got one of those pots for Christmas. Ive already used it several times. Im eager to learn the best ways to use it- its exciting! January 14, 2017 at 1:11 PM. You will love it! Extremely versatile in what you can cook with it. Just K...

By Hearth and at Home: Frugal Happenings
http://byhearthandathome.blogspot.com/2016/12/frugal-happenings.html
By Hearth and at Home. Wednesday, December 7, 2016. I made a chocolate pie instead of buying the chocolate freezer pie my daughter loves. I used store brand ingredients and pantry staples to make it. The bonus was it was vegan and could be eaten by everyone. (I used store brand coconut milk, store brand soy milk, a coupon to reduce the cost of the requested crust, corn starch from food storage, etc.). My mama visited for a night and I got to spend time with her. Free and priceless at the same time. I did...

By Hearth and at Home: Easy Chocolate Pie
http://byhearthandathome.blogspot.com/2016/12/easy-chocolate-pie.html
By Hearth and at Home. Monday, December 5, 2016. Regardless of the holidays you do or do not celebrate, in my area the months of November and December are prime holiday season. All the celebrations involve food. Let's face it - we all need food, we all love food, and we like to share with those we love. I am severely allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. I find myself altering a lot of recipes since both seem to play a heavy roll in a lot of plant based dishes. I followed the recipe with these alterations.
