This month has been really good at helping my family become more Mustachian.
Yesterday the conversation went like this:
Mom: "I need an instapot, look at all of the things it can do, it's a slow cooker, a pressure cooker, and a rice cooker!"
Me: "Mom you already have a crock pot, a pressure cooker, and a rice cooker. Why do you need one more thing in your kitchen?"
Mom: "But this could do all of those things in the same place!"
Me: "Why don't you use what you have for now and if in a month you still want it, I will get it for your birthday?"
Mom: "You're right, that sounds good."
Lesson Learned: My mom has an amazon addiction and we are slowly getting there one $100 appliance at a time.
I also gave them the challenge of not throwing away any food in January and their grocery bill has dropped by over half.
It is kind of fun going trough this transition with my family. We will all be better off in the future!
