This is how we do it! Eggs are obviously way more expensive now, but we never used more than a dozen in a week so it's not breaking the bank now, and the only other thing I buy regularly that is super noticeably more expensive than it used to be is oat milk. I think focusing on sale items and buying in bulk at Costco really has helped keep us in that same range.

We are a small hobby farm looking to sell fresh, pasture raised chicken eggs.

Our hens are only fed 100% organic feed which is soy-free, non-gmo, and corn-free. The hens roam free during the day and live in an enclosed wooden coop with night heating in Winters. We raise them like our pets!

When I worked in Parsippany, I'd go in at 630 am and that 287 exit would be backed up already. Insane.

Somerville circle

Grounds for sculpture has a lot of wheelchair accessible paths and is worth the trip, take a minute to talk to the peafowl. They enjoy the engagement

I’m spending an average of $180 per week for 2 people

Rt 24/ 287N. 80E/287S

Usually go to sussex meat packing once a month. That runs about 2-300 for all the chicken, beef and pork for the month. Keep it frozen then pull dinner out of the fridge at lunch and put it in a bowl of water on the counter. It's room temp by dinner.

Costco runs occasionally for snacks, paper goods. Shampoos and household goods. Those can be 2-300 dollar trips. Maybe once every other month.

Then groceries run under 100/week for my wife and I. Usually just things like fresh veggies, fruits, breads, canned goods, salad...

My go-tos are oranges, onions, limes. Make a chicken marinated out of those. Onions also work with hoagie/turkey sandwiches and wraps. Put them in a salad too. Some beyond burgers or in chicken salad. I normally just make a salad, some sort of protein, and a canned side for dinner. Then some type of sandwich or salad for lunch. Then there's always a pasta, some sort of sauce, and a garlic bread for something quick and easy.

Then we mix it up with frozen pizzas, lasagna, potpies.. just something you toss in the oven.

Grocery costs don't really bother me if it costs us $100 to go eat at a resturant. 100 for a week of food is nothing in my book

Grass is always greener, huh

Express made 8 stops and the local made 16.

Since I was going to WFC, I'd go to Newark Penn Station and switch to the PATH. So any train would get me to Newark.

Its been over a decade, but I still get an uneasy feeling when I hear the 05:25 train's horn sound when letting the dogs out.

If you have any high interest debt, pay that off.

Max out 401k.

Most people can't get past that.

For tax management on the funds you received. Contact a tax guy.

I use Steven Lissner company in Mountain Lakes

South of long branch on the NJCL is a looooooong trip. Especially if you don’t get a direct train and have to switch to an electric train at long branch.

Thanks for sharing!

I have someone in Clark I will always recommend if you would like DM me.

Not in the experience of those I know that work there, though for what it’s worth, statistically people with unlimited pto take off less time throughout the year.

BMS is also closed week between Xmas and new years for corporate/office employees.

Probably on the higher side here but about $1,200 a month for two adults and two toddlers. Mostly organic and we only eat out once a week.

I shop for my husband and myself and 2 adult children and I spend $200 a week.

Doing that (SEPTA -> NJT) is definitely cheaper than a 30th -> Penn Amtrak ticket. But not as convenient and Trenton station a bit sketchy.

I-80 E on to NJ Rt 17 S (Exit 63?)

Exit 157 parkway south.

We are around $150-200/week for a family of 3. We mostly shop at Aldi. I do go to Shop Rite for lunchmeat weekly as well as other things I can't get at Aldi. Only going to Shop Rite will rob you blind. My monthly grocery would probably 1.5 times bigger if we did.

That's why as much as I'd like to check out the mall I refuse to go as long as it's paid parking.

I assume it's free??

Pardon me, but this is a public library or is it at the university?
