Healthy Meal Prep for the Tired and Broke Parent | COOK WITH ME

Join me on my debt free journey as I pay off 23k in debt (credit cards and student loans) as a single parent/solo income household with no real assets. I’m basically here to change my life. I’m also an Aussie in the USA, I receive a bi-weekly paycheck but I cash stuff weekly since I feel less broke giving myself grocery and sinking fund money on a weekly basis.

I spend New Year’s Day making food to help me with some nutrition targets AND to save money with an upcoming busy week. Meal prep with me!

Groceries: I spent $110 at Kroger using a gift card I received for Christmas.
