Thanks for your insight girls! Getting rid of our debt is probably one issue that needs to come to the forefront. We are not hugely in debt aside from a mortgage but in my mind that is productive debt and our house will only gain in value especially with the occasional improvements we make. Just those stupid credit cards!!! Good thing we have tiny limits on them.

Since I already have a mostly established garden I should be good for my seeds as long as I make sure to collect and store them properly. Some things I will need to buy seeds of though, like lettuce, celery and brocolli etc. I will definilty look into the diggers club so thanks for that Muppity.

I buy my meat in bulk and try to grab it when it is on special and then I seperate into portions before freezing. I usually make one chicken fillet last between the 3 of us by making schnitzels or chicken strips.

So a little planning goes a long way I guess. It would be great to live like the Amish, just not sure I could be without the internet, electricity and car
