For the past multiple months my family has really been going through a strenuous time and we have been looking for ways to save money! I think that I have had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich everyday at lunch for about 2 months 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 nervous to bring it up to my mom because every time I do she starts trying to think of other crazy ways that we could be saving currency at the house.
Last time I asked her if we could switch up lunch, she thought it would be a great plan to turn off the air conditioner for a week. She was convinced that turning off the air conditioner would make a large difference on our energy bill each month. 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 horrible during that week without air conditioning because it is the middle of the summer and we live in a small beach town. I really thought that on the third day without the air conditioner she would change her mind and give us a break. However, that was not the case and we had to live without the air conditioner for the rest of the week. This is why I am nervous to bring up the sandwiches again to her!
