Money choices

October 16th, 2009 at 07:09 pm

I just posted how we set up a deal where someone does our shopping, obviously not free. And yet for me still rather frugal.

Because I do not drive. If I drove I could go shopping during the day when husband is at work, or on the weekend while they have a lazy morning, or any number of options. But since I do not drive and our time is rather limited we made a choice.

Not driving on the other hand saves us all the car insurance, all the gas of me heading off to yet another free daytime event (there are tons around here, for homeschoolers, preschoolers and more)

Now I still will mow the lawn myself, an hour away from the kids is better than paying someone!

Finances is all about choices, so in one way we are spending more, but in others we will be cutting back to balance it all out. (Heat is still off...)

    Yes, its all about making choices - what works best for your family or situation.

    I just saw a flyer yesterday for personal grocery shopping. The fee was $35 per shop. Are your fees anywhere in that ballpark?

    cheaper, 15 each trip...rounded up. A friend, not a business.
