I’ve got to sing the praises of Pary Moppins once again this week. She has a knack for developing a menu from the Brookshire’s ad to give you some ideas of what you could fix for your family while staying on a budget. Here is this week’s menu with 13 different meals for an average of just $6.07. I’d say that’s pretty good for staying in the constraints of the ad instead of the pantry stockpile! Also, be sure to {Read More}

I stopped in the Walgreens at Reick and Broadway tonight to look for Pediacare (a friend had given me some extra Qs). They were of course out of the $5.49 boxes, but look what I found by the multivitamins in red magazine hangers! The pic is really horrible but I wanted you to see what it looks like. It is actually about 5×8 instead of an oblong booklet. These are all Wags Qs that can be combined with a manu {Read More}

That is one phrase you will never hear in our house. (yes, I know never say never, so maybe in our house, but not said by us) I am not a paper towel nazi, but I don’t care for their use either. In a year’s time we go through maybe 3 rolls. By we, I mean dear hubby Instead, I keep a trash can close by the sink filled to the brim with rags to use for all sorts of {Read More}

My goal is to provide dinner for my family for an average of $5 except on special occasions. We don’t have to eat beans and rice to accomplish this goal! We typically only cook a main dish 4 or 5 times a week. Each main dish cooked will serve 4-6, and the leftovers will be for easy dinners on the weekend, or to freeze for another week. This cuts down on cleaning, cooking, and meal planning- saving us lots of {Read More}

The household budget for our family is $500 a month and includes all groceries, household products, clothing, gifts, decorations and newspapers. A little on the lean side? Perhaps, but it works for our family. Whether your number is $300 or $1000, you should do what works for your family. In February I spent: $281.64 (that sure helps to balance being over budget in Jan!) I saved: $781.04 Extra money I made: $40.21 Total impact to my family in February: $1173.21 {Read More}
