  • Thrifty Thursday – Buying Groceries Online
    It has been a while since we’ve shared a penny pinching tip around here (sorry about that).  But today I have a pretty good tip for you: Buying groceries online. Now, the first time I saw amazon’s online grocery store, I was pretty skeptical.  For me, there is just something strange about order my cereal on a website and having it delivered to my house....

  • When Things Don’t Go As Planned
    I haven’t written a personal post in a while, so I thought I’d give you a little update. A Quick Recap Jennifer and I have been in Orlando for 7 months now.  It has been just about a year since I quit my job as a campus minister in order to go to seminary.  I’m not going to lie, it has been a tough journey.  We almost didn’t come because...

  • Thrifty Thursday – Free Family Fun
    Having kids can be expensive… especially when “fun” is involved. Being an Orlando resident affords us many fun activities, however many of them cost a LOT of money. A trip to Disney with the kids would cost almost $200. So, needless to say we haven’t visited the oversize mouse just yet. So, what do we do on our tight budget for family fun? ...

  • Thrifty Thursday – Saving on Diapers
    If you are in seminary, then you realize money is tight (that is why we have a Thrifty Thursday). If you are married and in seminary, then you definitely realize that money is tight. My wife and I are always searching for ways in which we can cut our budget. One way we did this was to transition to cloth diapers. Now that you are over the “eww” factor,...

  • Thrifty Thursday – Savings in Seminary
    Several months before we sold our house in Richmond our savings account balance dropped below our bank’s minimum requirement. The consequence was that we had to either deposit some more money into the account (not really an option at the time) or we needed to close the account. As I mentioned, adding money wasn’t really an option, and at the same time I...

  • Thrifty Thursday – Help With Your Money
    For a lot of seminary students, financial considerations are something that is always on the mind. Getting an advanced degree is not particularly cheap, and especially as a lot of us enter our studies married and possibly with children, this becomes an even greater undertaking. I am blessed to be married to an accountant. My wife and I complement each other well because...
