She is not able to work full time at the moment but does side work for small income Monthly. We tend not to budget it since it is sporadic.

Well, groceries is the main area you can control. The rest is just small rounding errors effectively. You may be able to cut some of that out but it won't be meaningful. Trimming groceries is likely the only place that you can make meaningful cuts.

Understandable. I plan on having my debt completely paid off by July. That extra money will come in handy. Thanks for the subreddit tip!

also regarding the grocery bill, which store do you shop at? because you can save a lot of money by switching to offbrand items or stores like aldi/ruler foods/etc rather than big stores like Trader Joe’s/Target/Kroger etc
