That’s how we’re doing it too. House was bought in 2017 for a price well below our means then and even more so now. Cars were bought used and paid off quickly and we hope to ride them into the ground for 10 more years (they’re Lexus so it’s possible). We ditched Whole Foods / Dave’s unless it’s absolutely necessary and shop more at Aldi now than ever before. That has essentially saved us an additional car payment each month.

Trader Joe’s is still cheaper than Dave’s and Whole Foods. I use them and Market Basket now. Cut my costs way down.

Yup. Trader Joe’s and Aldi have the same ownership but operate a little differently. I love Dave’s and I want to support them but their prices are sometimes even worse than Whole Foods. I can’t justify it.
