[quote=Anonymous]We bought a home last summer and then had several very large, well-budgeted expenditures in late 2024. We just have naturally cut back without a vow or resolution and all, but one unbudgeted purchase so far this January was due to an emergency. Our biggest impulse purchases were food related. Meal prepping ingredients that can be mixed and matched has helped reduce that. Also, making DIY versions of convenience foods. Yesterday, I made 10 egg/bacon/cheese breakfast sandwiches. 5 on biscuits and 5 on English muffins. They went in the freezer and only take 2 min to microwave. I also made 12 frozen pucks of cooked oatmeal flavored with nuts, seeds, fruit, etc. these also take just a few minutes to nuke. With these on hand, we have filling breakfasts even if we are running late. And they cost a fraction of commercially prepared items or fast food versions.[/quote]
