I have to say that i have never had to really sit & think about how to "pinch pennies" Me & my husband have always been lucky enough to make money & spend it in whatever we want... That can change quickly..
I am the primary bread winner at the moment since my husband hours have been cut back... It is really tough considering that we put all of our savings in a no touch basis.
So instead of whining i am going to give you a list of things we are doing differently... we have only been doing this for the past month so hopefully we see some changes when the bills come..
- Laundry Twice a week
- Eating at home everyday & packing Lunches
- One entertainment day out of the week (we chose Sunday)
- No TV all week except Fridays ( this helps the kids get out & play too)
- Making my own laundry detergent
- No sodas in the grocery list
- 60.00 a week grocery budget (this has been tough
- 150.00 Monthly Budget for Sam's club
- Air dry certain items of clothing to avoid drying (kinda loving this)
i immediately saw my money being saved on the packing lunch everyday deal... it really does make a difference...
