$5 Dinners Week of 2/14 Average Cost $5.06

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}
Savings Review 2/1 – 2/12

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. Not much shopping, but that means more time at home, less costs for driving, and more money staying in our bank account! I’m not planning much shopping for this week either, {Read More}

I made a quick trip in to Albertson’s last night. I was able to score a can of Enfagrow Gentlease for just $1! It was originally 19.99 and on 70% clearance. A friend had blessed me with a $5 Enfagrow check- so what a great price. I personally think toddler formula is a bit silly, but I like the idea of using a couple cans just to make the transition to milk a bit easier on a baby’s tummy. I {Read More}
10 – 12 Yr Old’s Birthday Party Idea

This post may contain affiliate links.
Let me first say that I am not a big fan of screen time. I do believe in a little thing called moderation though. That being said- I was intrigued by a deal that came across my e-mail this morning: A mobile video game truck that can be rented for birthday parties and events. Sound expensive, but compared to prices I’ve heard people throw out for recent parties for 1-3 yr old kids it’s actually quite reasonable for most people. {Read More}

In January we talked about 3 ways to save some time and energy with your cooking plans. ( casserole swaps, dinner/Babysitting Swaps, and Cooking Extra to Give Away at Random). I was able to get a group of 5 ladies together to swap casseroles this month. We exchanged meals on Monday and Tuesday. I spent Monday afternoon cooking up 6 batches of my chicken, cheese and biscuit casserole (5 for the exchange and one for the coupon class I taught {Read More}
