We got a few loans payed off last month. $500 more a month this month that we can use to pay down stuff. We went shopping today, filled up 2 carts (we plan out meals two weeks in advance. Big shopping once a month, minor shopping ever other week.) and didn't have to use a credit card for part of it.. that hasn't happened in a long time. Going to KFC for a $5 lunch is a luxury. Once in a while, still will grab some nice steaks on sale, grill em up, wife makes her world-famous mashed potatoes, corn on the cob.. just not often.
