For the past several weeks our family has been going through a hard 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 two weeks now.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but I am starting to get sick of them. I am a little worried to bring it up to our Dad because every time I do he starts trying to find other silly ways that we could be saving money at the house. Last time I asked him if we could switch up supper, he thought it would be a great 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 week. She wasn’t wrong that the cost of our energy bill did go down, but it was not worth the week of hell that we had to go through! It was hard while we were in that week without a/c unit because it is the middle of the summer and the two of us live in a small beach town. I actually thought that on the fourth day without the air conditioner she would change her mind and give us a break, but 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 worried to bring up the sandwiches again to her.
