Yesterday’s post explained these acquisitions but don’t worry -  we are still working to get out of debt!  And, it’s been so fun! Who knew how enjoyable taking control of your finances could be!  I guess it’s really more about working with my Hubs – he makes things so fun!

So, our 2nd upgrade was our toaster.  We have a 4 slice toaster (from the thrift store again) that only could toast 3 slices at a time.  What a pain!  I considered another toaster, but realized for the same space on our counter, we could get a toaster oven and get more use out of it! Of course, we burnt our first pieces of toast, but we are still excited about this new tool! 🙂

When we paid off the credit card, we turned part of the accrued points into an Amazon.com gift card for me to use for the household.  Most of our small appliances are thrift store finds – why put out the full $$ if you aren’t sure how it’s going to work for your family.

I loved my rice cooker, but it was simply too small for our family.  Plus it didn’t come with the unique measuring cup – which made for a bit of a bummer but thanks to the internet, not a huge issue!

Anyway, meet our new rice cooker/steamer!  Now to find a reason to make rice! 😉
