July was a bad month for Food

I think I know enough money people out there, and my father, who will tell me I should account for my spending a little better, but for a while there I was doing really well. Until July.

I was just reviewing my July Visa statement, which I have no problem paying off and I like using my Visa for everything, so I can get the point, but I noticed a lot was spent on food. Sure in the back of my head I knew this as well, but there is a sad realization when I see if on paper – or TD’s mobile app – that I spent more than I normally do.

Normally I would chalk this up to me eating out more, which I have been. With it being summer, I’ve wanted to get out more, but it turns out that means get out of my house and go into a dark pub for a meal. Oddly though that only makes up roughly half of what I have spent on meals, I don’t no exact numbers, the other half is from going to the grocery store and stocking up on food.

Since coming back from Yellowknife in June I have wanted to get more into seeing – see my Food Category – but I needed to get the initials first. You know, like veggies, and meats, etc. Things that I had to buy lots of and would use overtime.

I’m not going to do this though for August, it will be a cheaper month with less eating out and more using what I have in the house. If you have recipe ideas, please send them my way!

It is Meat for $10! PriceSmart Deal

A friend of mine informed me that PriceSmart was having $10 deals on different type of meats, but I didn’t think I wanted to get any at the time, until I went there myself.  I also just want to give him credit becuase it was him who told me about them.

Anyways, I did go to the store last night and ended up getting steaks, ground beef and chicken.

Four steaks, packages in two.

2kg of ground beef for, you guessed it, $10.

5 pieces of Chicken (marinated or not)

Of course I just froze most of it, but not before packing stuff into individual packaging. Go out and get some for yourself.

Is it worth it?

Ugh. Having a conversation about reality stinks. I hate thinking about whether it is worth it or not, blogging and podcasting I am mean. I think about all the people who graduate high school and just jump in to lifeless jobs, just doing it to fund there nothingness. It bothers me because I’m actually trying something here. I work a job in the morning that I find rewarding, because I’m good at it and because people appreciate me. Then in the afternoon, I try and peruse my passion for Blogging about Yellowknife and Podcasting. I wholeheartedly believe that it will work in the North and I have some many ideas. This may be the down side, is that I have all the idea and can’t seem to manage my time properly to attempt them all. As you can see I have been slacking off on blogging on YkOnline this week, although I blame that on the fact the holiday season is over and I haven’t gotten back into a routine of doing it.

All of this makes me wonder if it is worth it. I know I haven’t put to much into it yet and I haven’t really done any hard work, but part of me says hold on, is it actually worth the time and effort. Will the result be worthwhile enough to get by.

So thinking about all these things got me to come down to 1 or rather 2 questions. I would love to know what your answers are to them!

  1. How would you make money from Blogging on a local blog?
  2. How would you make money from a Podcast?

Hearing others responses to these question my rekindle my passion and get me going away. Reality sucks.
