A week of kid expenses in Mattapan, MA, including Christmas presents and a car repair.
I don’t really go anywhere by myself, so this is mostly related to my son. I’m taking my son here and there. If we just stick to the routine, I’m going to work, dropping him off and picking him up, going right home—when we do that, I can save gas.I spend about $300 on groceries per month. I go for sales. I definitely try not to shop at big-name places. I stopped shopping at Star Market; they’re just like really ridiculous prices. I shop at the little mom and pop grocery stores if I can find it.
My kid doesn’t like a lot of junk food, so it saves me in the end because I don’t have to buy a lot of it. He likes fruits, he likes raisin bread. For a snack to send to school, I might do dry cereal, and a fruit, an apple juice, some water, some chocolate milk; he’s really simple. I cook at home, and try to buy things in bulk or family packs so I don’t have to feel like I’m running out to the store constantly.We sent him with money to get books. I sent a $20 bill and didn’t get any change.
He loves to read. It’s just whatever catches his interest, so far, no series in particular or anything. He’s relatively new to it, but he reads pretty well. He gets extra help with reading in school, and because of that he probably reads more than most of the kids do, at this point. When he gets home from school, he’ll read or play games; it depends on his mood. I call him an old man in a kid’s body.
