For the past six months my family has really been going through a hard 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 two months now.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the peanut butter and jelly sandwich but 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 to think of other crazy ways that we could be saving money at the house. Last time I asked her if we could switch up lunch, she thought it would be a good idea to turn off the air conditioner for a week. She was convinced that turning off the air conditioner would make a huge 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 miserable 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 second 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!
