For the past 6 weeks our family has been going through a taxing time and we have been looking for ways to save money.
I believe that I have had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich everyday at supper for about 3 weeks now.
Don’t get me wrong, I like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches although I am starting to get sick of them! I am a little distraught to bring it up to my mom because every time I do she starts to think of other silly ways we could be saving money at the house. Last time I asked her if we could switch up supper, she thought it would be a fantastic idea to turn off the air conditioning unit for a week! She was convinced that turning off the a/c system would make an important difference on our energy bill each week. While she was not wrong that the cost of our energy bill did go down, it was not worth the week of hell that we had to go through! It was awful during that week without air conditioning because it is the middle of the summer and we live in a small beach town. I absolutely thought that on the first day without the air conditioning she would change her mind and give us a break. However, that was not the case and we had to live without the a/c device for the rest of the week, and this is why I am concerned to bring up the sandwiches again to her!
